Kelso...Factor's Son! 5-yo Kelso (left) and his beautiful mother, Factor (right) Overview: Kelso is a tall, leggy, handsome young athletic prospect. Unfortunately, he was not maturing mentally or physically at the desired rate, and was not proving to be the desired showhorse for his young owner. Having watched Factor's progress here at CWER, they chose to donate him rather than try to post and sell him and risk his future going badly. With some time off, it appears Kelso is likely poised for a great career in dressage, jumping, hunter under saddle or similar pursuits. HISTORY: Upon Arrival: Kelso is very long legged and lean. Although he is approximately 5, he is not yet done growing, mentally or physically. He is already several inches taller than Factor, and appears poised to grow at least another inch or two in height, then to broaden in the chest and barrel. Mentally, he also still needs to mature. Most of the herd do not see him as a gelding yet -- including the aggressive gelding Sherlock -- but rather as a baby, and Kelso has no interest in any mare in heat. Kelso passed a vet check with flying colors. He had dental work done and a full chiropractic exam and workup. His legs appear to be in excellent shape. Dr King recommends giving him the winter off, letting him continue in the pasture and playing with the others, and see how much he matures before spring. We've often seen horses that simply didn't mature yet at the anticipated age, who work out to be fantastic at a job once they are ready. We look forward to that with Kelso as well. Sponsorship: Kelso has a feed sponsor (thank you Cheryl!). Cheryl donates to cover the cost of Kelso's feed monthly. He also needs a medical sponsor. So far his initial intake veterinary care cost $275. He will need at least one additional chiropractic workup this fall, and we may also run some blood work and a urinalysis to ensure there is nothing else out of balance that is affecting Kelso's growth and maturity. FACTOR'S (Kelso's Mom) Racing/Bloodlines: (We are still waiting to get Kelso's papers and complete his bloodline reports with his Sire's information. Factor's bloodlines include 5 doses of Nearco. Nearco's line is famous for producing great jumping horses.) 105 For Factor 1987
