Penis Size?... Daft Question...

[Honeypots]

I apologise if this is a really, really stupid question

but...

Does a horses penis size depend partly on when it was gelded?
Do stallions have a bigger penis than a gelding and does a horse that was gelded as a yearling generally have a smaller penis than one that was gelded late?
Would a rig have a bigger penis that a gelding?

or is it just genetics

Would the fact that my 15.1hh cob gelding who was gelded at a year old be the resaon why he has a relatively small penis compared to my 9hh shetland who was gelded at 3yrs.

Um Dunno

I have wondered this.
My boy has a big penis and we believe he was gelding late but my friends cob (same size, build etc) is much smaller. I used to work with a CB that was gelded at 9yr old after covering mares and his was huge.

pmsl, soz

 

[monica987]

Lol - I haven't yet seen my horses penis! (he is new)

 

[_Amy_Rose_]

Wel that dis-proves (is that even a word) the whole shoe size theory! Sorry im so imature!

On a more serious note i think the time of gelding can ahve an affect, though im not sure....

Frankie is a big old 17+hand boy, and he is well and truley put to shame by My friends 4 year old exmoore stallion who stands at 13.2
...I dont know the answer to your question.
I just thought I'd add that =\
x

 

[stencilface]

Our 14.2 who we've always suspected is a rig (although blood tests say no) is considerably more well hung than his taller (won't use the word bigger there

) friends.

And I think he knows it

 

[Laafet]

The shetlands at my yard have ones that almost touch the ground when they are relaxed! As for normal size horses, Murph is huge but T is quite small, both were gelded about the same time and are of the same height and type. Having seen a lot of TB colts at work I can say they all seem to be different.

 

[_OC_]

I wonder why my cob spends alot of time with his out in the droopy position...there is relaxed,and relaxed...but,this morning with a frost,it was the last thing I expected to see dangling!

 

[soph21]

Both of mine were gelded at 2 1/2 and they are both pee wees lol!
Bears a cob and Buddie's a welsh A. Buddie is very embarrassed as his sheath looks like a mares teats!
He always gets called a lovely little mare!

 

[samstar]

just for you Samstar...

 

[samstar]

nice one. very very funny

 

[Fahrenheit]

Well i say it makes no difference when they were gelded...

Have owned a few gelding and a few stallions and where I have to say one of my stallions is the most well endowed horse i've ever seen

(definitely god gift of the horse world

) the other stallions were very average compared with the geldings and one stallion had a titchy pencil

 

[samstar]

yes but the one that honeypots is on about is a gelding, could he be a rig, as showing stallion tendencies. Ihope thats the right word

 

[JM07]

my little cob is 14.1...on a good day!!!...and he was cut late at 5+ and his is massive......

 

[skewby]

Really interesting question, I wonder! Like stencilface, I had my lad rig tested and thankfully he was clear. I don't know his history cos he came through Stow Fair, but I reckon he was gelded shortly before I got him (at 4 years old). The vet said that being obsessed with, and able to do the "biz" with, mares (and a lot of other riggy behaviour) could well be down to being cut late, i.e. after sexual maturity and some "action", so to speak. Also he's very broad and muscly which led the vet to think he'd had all his tackle to quite a mature age. And his is HUGE. Even for a big horse. People are aghast when they see it, and always comment. If there were a class at HOYS for it, we'd be unbeatable.

Do we all post pics now?

If showing stallion tendancies and you are concerned I believe the only way to tell if a gelding is a rig or not is via a blood test.... willy size certainly isn't an indicator imho

lmao

No..we won't be counting on willy size..lol..

but I was wondering if it were an indication but it seems not..

The 'gelding' in question is showing a few signs.. he doubles up his poo's, he moves on/chases off other boys, wee's on poo's and gets very excited with my mare to the point that he has covered her twice today that we saw..once about a foot away from me

. He just happens to be very well endowed and I wondered if it was all because he could have been cut late or a rig.
As you say, a blood test is the only sure way to find out

Thanks for your replies guys...

 

[samstar]

A blood test it definately will be. cheers

No idea of the answer but can we please make this number 1 of the 5 most talked about topics in H&H mag next week!!

 

[rubyred]

What does everyone consider normal relative to size of horse?
Think mine are normal but you do see a lot of variations and I've not seen many mature stallions that could be considered lacking!
