Blue Hors Cavan Fully Castrated
The
Hanoverian stallion Blue Hors Cavan has been fully castrated
after a second hodenbruch ("testical fracture")
injury. The dark bay stallion by Cavalier x Damnatz
had to cancel its Olympic Games' participation September
2000 due to the same injury. Cavan was then operated
on, and one testical had to be removed. After several
months of recovery, Cavan made his competition come-back
at the CDI Stockholm, Sweden, under his steady rider
Lars Petersen.
Blue Hors Stud in Randbol, Denmark, is sad to see its
number one stallion castrated. Nevertheless, Cavan will
continue his sport career under Lars Petersen. There
is still some frozen semen available. According to Danish
breeders the value of Cavan's semen and his offspring
has gone up considerably due to the stallion's gelding.
