These spunky little studs need to be fixed!
After seeing the boys fighting this week I contacted the vet and he is able to come tomorrow and raise their IQ via castration.
I know boys like to play and even geldings play, but these two were being too rough and they are now separated till post surgery.
Spanky came to us after being rescued by the group at Baker Ranch Equine Rescue in Ramona from an auction in southern California.
Jen's fans raised the funds to buy this mini mule (or hinny) and get him to BRER. Knowing we have mini mules, Jen asked if we could make room for him to be with ours and he was able to make the trip last week.
In March, 2017 we were able to save Woody and 5 other mini mules from a killpen in Bastrop, LA.
After quarantine in TX, they headed to the rescue where we have been treating them for malnourishment, worms and dealing with their other health care needs. Four have been adopted, but not Woody because he is still intact and really needs this surgery before being adopted.
We are lucky that the vet can come out tomorrow to do the surgery so both boys can heal before the flies get bad and to make them more handleable, which in turn makes them more adoptable.
We need $425 to cover the castration, meds and badly needed hoof trims for the minis. Can you help us with a donation?
In addition to the boys, we have one little female mini mule who I have named Peony after my favorite flower. She will be staying with us a little longer because she has a birth defect, her lower jaw sticks out farther than her upper jaw, what is called an underbite or underjet, that requires ongoing dental work and she is still not up to a good weight yet.
