Evening all,

What do you think is the best way of getting your geldings willy out to give it a wash.
Fred (bless him) is having a bit of a to do with midges around his bits and I think the main culprit is the odour...It's not particularly offensive but there are a lot of bites in that region.
He never gets it out but when he does (only twice) I have been flabbergasted because there are big chunks on it (YUK).
Anyway, a few days ago the time was right and I gently went for it with a warm cloth and he put it away so quickly I didn't make any difference at all

How do you encourage it out and once there, how do you keep it there???
Sorry for the long, random and it a little yuk post

umm, some geldings will relax it if you gently stroke their tummy from front to back, i had a riggy gelding who did this whenever i body-brushed him. you then have to be very gentle cleaning it or they will put it away again very very quickly...!
under sedation is the best way if they're very shy or sharp about it tbh. for instance i have one gelding who would kick me if i tried to wash it, no question, so his just doesn't get done, unless he's being sedated for something else... not worth getting hospitalised for otherwise!
 
my boy gets it out when hes relaxed,eating and when i scratch him on his tummy just infront of it,then i clean it the dozy boy even cocks his leg up sometimes lol

My boy gets it out if you give him a long groom - I just then use my hands to pick any bits off it - he does not seem to mind in the slightest. I think he quite likes it.
 
We never clean our geldings bits. Have never had any problems. I would personally leave it alone as you can cause more problems than you solve.
 
I clean mine with cotton wool, warm water and a bit of hibiscrub, they never get them out for it neither!! I have to put my hand up there!
My OH thinks its sick LOL

We have a horse who will get it out if you scratch his hind fetlocks.... but he's a freak

LMAO!! My colt gets it out when he's getting his tail scratched!

The best thing to do, I find is to get a soft sponge and warm water with willy wash on it or hibiscrub and stuff your arm up there!
Only do this gently, and only if you have an amenable fellow!
My horses then drops it out for the rinse.
Make sure you get the "bean" out too especially those geldings for which the personal hygiene is long over due.
My gelding shed an enormous one when I first got him, utterly gross.
 
Well. A group of us were having this same discussion a year or so ago and I innocently asked my friend if she had any tips to get males to drop their equipment out for her. Without batting an eyelid, she said she just takes her top off...always works for her! {{very juvenile snigger}}

Mine is making the squeaky willy noise at the moment, should I clean it?

That noise has absolutely nothing to do with a clean or dirty willy. It is trapped air due to tension.

I have never cleaned a geldings willy in my life; I don't start all this nonsense therefore I never need to do it. I do check all of my male horses on occasion though to check for the bean, but they've never had one so don't need to pop it out. When you wash the sheath with a lot of these "cleaners" you are stripping the good bacteria and the natural oils away too; often doing more harm than good.

Please, if you do feel the need to interfere, never use hibiscrub to wash a willy - that is waaaay too harsh.
 
Actually tia,
I think you may have a point. I only do my horses once in a blue moon, and only when its really mucky. Plenty of rinsing after as well. H
aving said that I had a sick horse who was on box rest for weeks and he got a infection in the willy sheath, so we had to clean it every few days.
It was an awful problem but because he had had the occasional wash down there he was fine about it.

Cairo rarely shows his old man so I stick the hose up there in summer and then use my hand to pull out any muck - I don't use gloves as I want to feel what I am doing - they soon wash up afterwards - just don't bite your nails! In winter I leave him. I have noticed as he is getting older and not moving as much he needs to be cleaned more frequently - bit smelly and more gunky. Vet said this was normal in older geldings. I have on occasion managed to find it dangling to see if there is a bean but think if I do find one will have to get vet to help as he can pull it back in more than I can hold onto it - very strong muscles.

Chancer - unfortunately he is the sort that has a gross sheath - produces a lot of gunk and gets beans frequently. Again, vet said a few are like this. I am lucky - he loves having his cleaned and dangles it out while I brush off the worst. Again he has the hose up it and I stick my hand up and carefully scrape out the inside gunky stuff. I have to check for beans and remove them every 3 - 6 months. By doing it frequently, they don't get too big and easily pop out - what a lovely subject.

They don't really need washing.

Thumper often drops his out, and I quitely run my hands over it picking off anything that needs to be picked off.

It's perfectly clean, and always is. I've never washed a geldings penis.
 
prittstick and beckyd - I'm glad its not just me! Can someone explain about the bean? I have a gelding now - but its the first gelding I have had for donkeys years - and I can honestly say I have never cleaned any of my previous boy's sheaths.
 
I only do Bears occasionally with diluted hibiscrub, in winter he gets a really hairy belly so the hair gets up there and has made it sore so there fore needs a rinsing out.
 
Guys, I don't know what "The Bean" is either, though it does sound hideous!!! I can imagine its the disgusting clingons but again, it could be anything judging by the current state of Freds willy
