Horses are pretty fun to work with (especially the well mannered individuals) but working with a mini horse is quite the novelty. Standing just waist high, this mini was a 2 year old male stallion (soon to be gelding). He was a bit of a pain to work with - did not like to be restrained or examined, but we were able to get the job done and get a couple of pictures as well!
What a great picture to see the height difference! I stand at 5foot 3inches and this mini was only up to my waist. Here he is looking pretty loopy as he had just received his anesthesia before surgery... We were just waiting for him to relax enough to lay him down and begin prepping him for his castration!
I was put with the job of monitoring anesthesia for the very rapid surgery and our petite patient did very well! Once he woke up we were able to leave at home care instructions for the client and get on to the next exciting case!To check out more information about the mini horse click here.
