First, they dropped him to $3,000.

and now they have gelded him.

A horse who has been bred, and then gelded at seven years of age, is not a $3K retrain prospect in my opinion. He will have behavior issues and at 17h and a big boy, might just be a big load of trouble.

Not trying to be tacky, but that horse is 17.0 HH if that handler (who looks nervous to me in the pictures) is named Goliath.

Hard to say. Could be if the guy next to him is 6'2" or so.. 17h is 5'8" tall at the withers.

17 hands or not, he doesn't weigh 1300 lbs. - not even close.
