Does anyone have a good website that describes how horse vets castrate stallions?
I was wondering how vets castrate stallions because I’m interested in being an equine vet. If anyone knows some good sites that tell how they do it, I’d be very grateful to you.
Who are you planning to castrate my friend ?
Just curious !
LOL !
How to get a lazy Quarter Horse to lope?
I’m going to be in a schooling horse show next month. I’m choosing to a quarter horse to ride it the western show. He is can be lazy and hard to lope. I do not want to depend on a crop a lot, I’m trying to use my more leg. Any advice for me?
Thanks I need to practice before the show.
Are stable owner does not allow us to use spers.
When you are asking, really push him with your outside leg. Kick or sqeeze!!! That will also help him get the correct lead. Also suggest with you body position that you are about to ask for the canter, and he should pick up. Its okay to carry a crop with you, but as you said, you shouldnt depend on it. Go ahead, give him a little tap with your crop while you are asking and I doubt he wont give it to you.
Would you be able to breed performance horses or western horses from this stallion?
I’ve honestly never seen this colouring put together, He a Blue Roan Tobiano Stallion. I was wondering due to his unusual colour whether you breed for western events or performance horses-such as eventing, dressage, hunting or Western Pleasure, Cutting and Barrel racing etc, or whether because of his unusual colouring whether it would disqualify him and his future babies from the western ring & performance ring, he is register APHA &PHAA
here he is

Dame Line; AQHA Cutting horse-Poco Pepito, AQHA race hoses- Old Tom Cat-by Robin Reed, Miss Bull Root, Three Bars.
HE’S REGISTERED WITH APHA & PHAA
I honestly don’t see the dished faced that Arabian, that some see in him, he is cow hocked in the back legs but most western horses have that.
he 15.3hh-is not that small, it average height, both Quarter horses and Paint come in that size.
He does HAVE a STOCKY looking head, but HE got ORIGINAL FOUNDATION quarter horse BLOOD and there SUPPOST TO BE STOCKY, unfortuantly many of the New Modern Quarter Horse bloodlines have too much thoroughbred blood in them and have made them less stocky!
Don’t forget Thoroughbred Originally had Arabian in there development- and i believe the Quarter Hoses originally had a small amount of thoroughbred in there development.
I don’t like the way Utah REAR back leg cross over the other leg and toe hoove turns out-DOESN’T look like good confirmation, the others particular the western i do agree had good conformation
This stud is not my choice for sire material. His neck is set on too high out of his withers. His knees and hocks are to high off the ground for any "working" cow horse events. Not enough gaskin on him. Better off as a gelding. His overall "quality" just isn’t there. Where’s my box knife? Snip, snip

A stallion built to work cattle and bred to the hilt.
Modern, popular, bloodlines and great conformation are mandatory in the choice of a stallion. Successful breeders recognize this…They want to be able to move the resultant foals and not have to feed them forever. Cuts into their profit margin. It’s a highly competitive buyer’s market out there and the better the package, and the more popular the blood line will get these babies sold.
Edit: "Eventing"…you get great horses by breeding to bloodlines that get the job done…ask any WP person, EP person, Working Cow Horse person, any other individual involved professionally in the horse game…..a baby by "Johnny Come Lately" doesn’t measure up.
Take the best to the best and your chances of a great competitor just improved by 100 percent. If you can’t afford to do that, in the current market, then you should not be breeding horses…you’re part of the problem.
