    What a cruel and expensive way to treat unwanted horses....

    Anyone seen a belly like this on a gelding?

    I would hit him twice with the safeguard(21 days apart) then switch to iver. or quest plus. That should kill off a good deal of what he might have before hitting him with the "hard" stuff. Since he does look to have a pretty good load I would also make sure to keep him away from the other horses...

From what I can see in the pics, I like the way he is built! And...

    14 horses die just before polo match

    Well depending on what vitamins and minerals were being used, many can be VERY toxic at high doses. It would depend on how the shot was given. that could play a huge part in it as well. If it was given under the skin but not in the muscle it would take longer to disperse into their systems, I.M...
