When we brought Valerian to Gut Aiderbichl, he was only 157 days old. He found his way to us via winding paths and was allowed to stay. What we didn't know was that Valerian had an undescended testicle hidden in his abdomen. This meant that the castration could not be carried out completely. This could only be done at a large clinic. Nevertheless, he became a beautiful gelding, magnificent and strong - just as he should be.
