Cecil ​

Cecil came to Bear Valley in 2008 as a weanling from auction.  He is purebred Quarter Horse but we never got his registration application back from his previous home.  He was a bi-lateral cryptorchid (neither testicle descended) and required a 3 hour surgery to be gelded.  He also has moon-blindness, which is a recurring auto-immune disease, though he has been doing well and hasn't had an episode since his gelding surgery in 2011 .  Cecil was fostered/adopted out for a short period in 2013 and came back in early 2014.  He is about 15.2HH, is friendly, good to handle, halter- and foot-broke.  He had a major abscess in one hind foot in 2011 that caused him to lose half his hoof but it has grown back well.  We feel that stress can trigger his moon-blindness so that is something that needs to be monitored.
