Undescended testicle in older stallion

Long story.

The woman who was giving him to me was a 72 yr old widow with heart problems. Her husband (who died a few months ago) owned an 80 acre farm. However, the farm was in a trust and now that he's dead, she was told she had to move.

DBF told her about the "dower law" essentially a widows' protection act. His mother is in a similar cicumstance. So this woman looked into it and is now fighting to stay on the farm until she dies so she can keep the horses.

There's also an extremely foundered donkey and a lame Paint mare on the property which I also was supposed to take. Donkey would have been euthanized, mare would be given x-rays and if it was something relatively minor, treated or euthanized. I was up front with the woman on this, as it isn't fair for these animals to be limping indefinitely. She is also the type to call frequently to check on them.

I'm washing my hands of the situation at this point.

A good move, I'm thinking, and hopefully she can legally stay on her farm!
