In 2008 we started hosting a low cost Gelding Program. It ran  November through March and in total 20 stallions were gelded.  Last year we raised $2500 for the gelding program and this year our goal is to raise $5000, giving us the ability to provide low cost gelding services for 40 stallions.  
 
 Gelding a stallion can be very costly and many horse owners find themselves unable to pay to have their stallion gelded, due to the high cost of the surgery. The stallion begins breeding mares  many of his offspring end up across the boarders in a slaughterhouse because nobody really wanted them.

    We cover $125 of the cost and the owner of the stallion only has to pay $25 -$75 depending on the age of the stallion through our vet. More info below.

If you have need of this service please contact us.

There are is so many  horses out there being abused, neglected, and sent to slaughter.  Where did they all come from?  Well, let's see... so and so had a stallion and his neighbor had a mare.  The stallion jumped the fence, or maybe the neighbor even thought that it would be great to have their mare bred.  And so, 11 months later a cute little colt is born.  He's cute for the time being, but after 11 more months he's getting quite frisky with his mom.  His owners do not have the money to spend on getting him gelded and the cycle repeats itself over and over again.  Today we are seeing an overpopulation of horses and these horses are the ones suffering as they are sent to slaughter by the thousands.  There is a solution: educating horse owners and gelding stallions. 

  Stallions are very dangerous to other horses, humans and even themselves. In some countries they fight stallions as can be seen by clicking here.

  On average, gelding a stallion costs his owner $250 - $500.  Because so many owners cannot afford to geld them many stallions go ungelded and this contributes to the large number of unwanted horses.  Our vet is keeping costs as low as she can for our gelding program.  This, along with your donations, allows us to offer gelding for a stallion trained to lead and tie at the reduced rate of $25-$75 depending on the age of the horse.  Your donations will cover the remaining $125 per gelding.   
   Owners of stallions that are wild or cryptorchid will still be able to receive $125 off the cost for the gelding and will need to talk to our vet about the cost of their individual horse. 
   
  We are working hard to help horses in need. We are tired of seeing stallion after stallion at auctions and then going to slaughter simply because their owner never had them gelded.  Many of the stallions needing to be rescued would never have been in that situation if they had been gelded when they where young.  It is time to provide the means to allow those that otherwise would be unable to geld their stallion to have this necessary surgery performed.

  Our goal is to raise enough money to geld 40 stallions in Northern California.  The program will start the beginning of November.  Instead of having a clinic where many stallions are gelded on one day, we will be issuing low-cost gelding certificates to stallion owners to be redeemed whenever they and our vet make the arrangements.  We hope to receive enough support that we would be able to help geld horses across the nation by offering up to $125 towards a gelding with an invoice and documentation submitted by a licensed vet.
