Working in tandem means Maurice
can share his knowledge and guide his team
through the rigours of the job. Today, they've been asked
to castrate another horse. We'll probably let Rachel do
the surgery and I'll just monitor
the anaesthesia. This time it's a much riskier
procedure as the horse is already four years old. The older they are, the more risk
there is with the actual operation. Sometimes the small bowel
will prolapse into the scrotum. And the older they are, the more
likely that is to happen. If that happens when the
horse is standing, that can be fatal. So we may have to actually sedate
him and then put him down flat and castrate him that way

Working in tandem means Maurice
can share his knowledge
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.052
and guide his team
through the rigours of the job.
00:00:08.068 --> 00:00:12.032
Today, they've been asked
to castrate another horse.
00:00:12.032 --> 00:00:14.072
We'll probably let Rachel do
the surgery
00:00:14.072 --> 00:00:17.012
and I'll just monitor
the anaesthesia.
00:00:18.032 --> 00:00:21.088
This time it's a much riskier
procedure as the horse is already
00:00:21.088 --> 00:00:23.000
four years old.
00:00:24.016 --> 00:00:28.028
The older they are, the more risk
there is with the actual operation.
00:00:28.028 --> 00:00:32.016
Sometimes the small bowel
will prolapse into the scrotum.
00:00:32.016 --> 00:00:35.064
And the older they are, the more
likely that is to happen.
00:00:35.064 --> 00:00:38.016
If that happens when the
horse is standing,
00:00:38.016 --> 00:00:40.999
that can be fatal.
00:00:40.999 --> 00:00:44.008
So we may have to actually sedate
him and then put him down flat
00:00:44.008 --> 00:00:46.096
and castrate him that way.
