Well, after waiting for many, many months in order to lose 100 pounds, Basil finally had his surgery today. Unfortunately, it was inconclusive. It seems that he is a bit of a mutant... just some strange anatomy going on. Either he was already gelded and it was poorly done, or he is malformed and his testicles could not descend. So, he will be treated as the stallion he acts like and a suitable home found for him. He is now quite a sweet guy and very manageable, thanks to the fine folks at Horseplay Your Way who fostered him and trained him up for us. He has overcome the bulk of his fears and is now generally polite and cooperative. We couldn't be happier with his progress!
The new buckskin was named "Ranger" and he is already adopted and gone to his new home. He just needed his gelding surgery and was quickly spoken for by a wonderful driving home on our waiting list.
Puzzle and Glory are still hanging out here, happy as can be. They are shedding like mad and helping to keep the local bird nests nice and cozy! Thor will be returning to our main facility this coming week, since we have ample space now. Cinnamon is up for adoption, amazingly enough, but will remain at his foster home for the time being as he needs softer footing than we have here. He is running and bucking and doing so well... we are very surprised at how far his rehabilitation has taken him and are, of course, thrilled! He is ready to find a permanent home.
It is very, very strange to only have five Minis to write about! We have also been doing some other behind-the-scenes work with the SPCA that we can't publicize, so rest assured - we are still keeping very busy. I'm sure it won't be long before we have another influx of Minis needing our help. Thank you all for your continued support.
