I got a message tonight on facebook... is my horse a stallion?

"i just wondered if he was a stallion, because he has bigger bits than the others on the yard and he is very ckeeky"
Turns out, he has a slightly larger sheath than the others, no balls in sight...

OH DEAR.... and these people OWN a horse...

:)

I have owned dozens and dozens of horses over a lot (dozens in fact) of years, a few years ago I bought a hairy little colt that I'd been told was a gelding. I had a quick grope, through 3" of hair and gloves and I didn't bother to look. The snow was 2' deep, the pony 30" high and it was probably minus 20C, too cold to go rooting around looking for gonads anyway.

Come April when I was clipping the lice off I found a pair of plums that I could have sworn weren't there before :o - OH says that if his bits were 2' from the ground and in the snow then his would have gone into hiding too! It cost me about $200 more to geld the pony than it did to buy him :eek:

When it is cold you'd have to look twice at my stallion too!

So, the moral is, you might own one horse or a lot of horses but you never know it all!:o;)

I agree, I was told my Forester was a gelding and I didn't bother checking, a few months down the line I thought he looked a bit big so had a grope and found 1 'lump', got a friend to check and yup definitely something there so out came the vet and unfortunately there was only one. A couple of months on there's no doubt he's got something but unfortunately, despite a brief appearance, one remains shy and refuses to drop :eek:
Unless you've experience with entires it can be difficult to tell if you have one, especially when the testes are just starting to drop.
