I admire you for having the guts to say something and look out for both YOUR safety and Izzy's piece of mind. Everything else about the place sounds great, so I hope this was just a bump in the road.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665170020323796310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-15099013939023052012011-06-14T23:44:33.355-06:002011-06-14T23:44:33.355-06:00I knew a OTTB bought by a *vet* no less that turne...I knew a OTTB bought by a *vet* no less that turned out to still be intact... which they only found out MANY months later after mare in field turned up prego. Apparently, he went undetected as he was very ill mannered about being touched anywhere in the backend and his surplus bits were kept tucked up tight ;-D<br /><br />Not saying this is a possibility, just sharing the horror!Bifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648037666735227722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-70140035114846291262011-06-14T18:23:33.801-06:002011-06-14T18:23:33.801-06:00The barn Nina was in last year had mixed turnout, ...The barn Nina was in last year had mixed turnout, about 5 geldings and 5 mares on 10 acres. I was very apprehensive, but everyone got along fine. The only studdy gelding was only 3 so he got beat up by everybody every time he acted out. But I think this was the exception rather than the rule, mixed turnout can easily be a disaster. Glad you came up with a safer fix.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571711150060964222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-51196169835746293542011-06-14T17:52:09.664-06:002011-06-14T17:52:09.664-06:00Glad the situation is resolved.

I have a friend who was very seriously hurt by a rig that no one knew was not fully castrated. It's a dangerous situation--worse, I think than a hormonal mare. <br /><br />Hope Izzy's new turnout works out well and that she is happy.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-63185568712193904952011-06-14T12:25:05.391-06:002011-06-14T12:25:05.391-06:00OK, I just noticed the "I hate geldings"...OK, I just noticed the "I hate geldings" tagline. *gasp* Whhhaaaaaatt??? How about "I hate the stupid sex-crazed geldings that try to kill me"? ;-) Lol. Just joshin' ya, but I assure you that not all geldings are hormonal murderers.<br />Private pasture? Wow, that is nice!

Turn out can be one of the most frustrating thing to plan out as a barn manager, especially when you have young horses, high energy mares, geldings, and stallions. GagAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
