Routine Castration
Recommended for all intact male horses not intended for use as breeding stallions, routine castration can be performed after 6 months of age. Castration improves focus for training, handling, and reduces libido. This procedure is available as a farm call, or as an in-house surgery with short-term hospitalization.
