Arani and Oscar were gelded today

Woooo hooo at last- we now have geldings....The Vet aged Arani at about 4 years old-took out a wolf tooth that was annoying him as well.  I feel we and especially Lynn and Nikita have done extremely well to get them to the stage they are at....I am really glad we didn't know how old he was when we started working and learning with them...I suspected he was at least a year older than Oscar - but not 2 years older....He is quite a lovely chap and when the vet came to inject them Megan helped to keep him calm and then walked him out to the paddock. Lynn is on her holidays, so it was a great time to get him done...She'll be pleased to return to a gelding, and then just another 2 weeks float training and he can go off to her place and join her happy herd....
Oscar - my baby was great too- he popped up after the drugs had worn off as if he'd just been asleep for a while..Vet aged him at 2 years old. They both did brilliantly- so they will have a well deserved rest for the next few days.  I put Louka back with Gypsy and Sarg so that Arani & Oscar can just convalesce on their own for a while...Sarg chased Louka around for a while making sure he knew who was in charge...actually it's not him- he wants to be but Gypsy just pulls an ugly face at them and they both behave again...Great to see them all playing out in the sunshine.  Long may it last.
