Delicate Question re stallions ...... equipment

[Perissa]

Earlier this year I lost my arabian stallion. I saw his 'equipment' at least one a day, even when there were no ladies near.

I've had my miniature stallion for two months, he's only 4 and not covered any mares but I have never seen his. A week ago I let him sniff one of the mares and he still did not show. I took him to a show yesterday and despite being surrounded by horses he still didn't show although his behaved and sounded like a stallion.

He has a well developed pair of matching testicles. I have tried to have a feel which he didn't object to and didn't feel anything amiss.

My vet is coming next month to check my gelding, do you think I should have the little guy sedated in the hope he will drop his 'equipment' to check that everything is OK?

Well I must say ours never have this problem, I would put him next to a mare he can touch with his nose and leave them to play over the doors..it's surprising what talking to a mare will do to him even this late in the year. keep an eye on him because if he gets going he'll try to get to her.
Otherwise wait until the spring when a mare in season should wake his urges up!
Your vet will examine him but doubt he can tell if he will perform or not.
