Not necessarily, I talked to a guy the other day and he said it doesn't matter the age, it just depends on the horse.

That's what I've heard, and would most likely suggest.

Yes.

You got Dezi when he was older, and you've bonded with him.

Just remembered - If you gelded him, you'd do it before he developed his "stallion-y" behavior, from my understanding. One of the reasons you would geld is so that he wouldn't freak out around other horses.

Yes, I know. We have to cut him before he becomes 'proud cut'. There was a proud cut gelding at a meeting once, he screamed at every single horse there. One of my friends was riding him and she was having trouble making him go, so me a Dezi rode circles around them!

Here is a new pic of the filly. The guy said she lost a lot of weight when he weaned her because she wasn't taking to the feed, but she finally started taking the feed, and it won't be too long before she's back in shape.

Here is a pic of the colt. Ain't he purdy? He looks to be in much better condition than the filly.

Will he be a stallion or a gelding?

That horses pastern is over extended,

Doesn't look good. The front left and back right, probably the others too, very bad pasterns, did you pay for him yet?

My mother said, that he was probably mall-nurished, if you keep his hooves trimmed, give him plenty of minerals and protiern, it should straiten up, and don't ride him till he's 4. Also make sure he isn't in a stable all the time, and most of his time is spent grazing in the feild, rather than eating grain and hay in a stall.

Don't worry, if they get pasture life (not stall) they'll heal in no time, just like our horse,

 

[horsecrazychicklovingkid]

Whoa, wait a second. Your talking about the paint? He's only 10 months old. That is a really bad pic taken with the guy's phone. I don't see anything wrong with it, could you tell me what exactly you see wrong with this horse? How can you tell that just by looking at a very bad quality picture?

 

[Symphony]

You know what a pastern is, right? To tell if the pastern is at a proper angle, you just look at the horse, and make sure it is at the same angle as the shoulder slope. My Mother said it WILL heal with hoof trimming, minerals, and protien. Don't worry,
