Ely as a gelding? Decision made...

Mutrok · 09-25-2007, 01:12 PM

So.....Ely will be a gelding as of next week and.........he is going to WORLDS at the end of October!! Lots of thought and reasons went into this and best choice all around. I feel good about it...the cards just seemed to all fall in place for this given all of the optortunities he and I will have.

Be sure to let us know how your gorgeous guy does at his shows.

WOW I'm sure it was a tough choice. I'm still rolling around the idea of gelding my guy so I know a little of your pressure. I'm leaning 80% towards gelding as of today we'll see what the spring brings. BTW See you in Texas In October! I hope he does do really well. I'm going to come out and see what I can learn and add to my bag of tricks. I am still a little chicken about putting my horses out there until I get more educated on what is the most desired characteristics of the Appaloosa that are winning the points.

GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's an exceptional stud prospect, so he'll be an AMAZINGLY OUTSTANDING Gelding

Can't wait for the future show pictures with your boy!

We should. Will you be there the entire week? I can only get out there on the weekends. But I'm only about an hour and a half away just off of I-287 heading west from Dallas. I would love to see you show him. Will you be bringing others? Ok LOL now I sound like a freaky little stalker LOL Can you tell there's not a lot of Appaloosa breeders around my area. Ok I'll stop being weird now and PM you later LMAO LOL

I think you made an incredibly fantastic (But yet also incredibly tough) decision... I suspect this will really launch your farm name in the Appy world for you! BEST of luck at Worlds!!!!!!!

Awww, I'm a little sad since Ely is really a gorgeous guy and I bet he would grow up to be a gorgeous stallion as well.

But kudos to you for making a tough decision. I wish more breeders did what you did.

And hopefully Ely will do extremely well and soon you'll have a younger sibling of his to take his place in the breeding world that's even better than him.
