from what i read, having the operation is a "good" thing from a racing perspective. many horses have emerged from the destallionization manuver to go on and become much better.

i am sure many that spend thier entire lives glued to the internet could give examples. usually, from what i read, they improve quite a bit.

the reason your horse was for sale probably involved the prior owner not wanting to spend the money, or probably not having the money to do the operation.

best of luck with that.


oh ya,


OUCH!!!!!
