Penis Size?....

Interesting question
smile.gif
As a man, I have to try to answer, although I'm not certain of the answer...

Penis size (in all species) is primarily genetic. They come in all shapes and sizes, and it's not a problem if they are "smaller"

, although sometimes it can become problematic if they are very large

Testosterone may have an effect on the development and growth of the penis, so a gelding that was gelded at 6 months, may be less developed than one that was gelded at 2 or 3 years old.

Riggy boys may simply be "showing" more penis than others, as they will be closer to achieving an erection. So it may not necessarily be a size "issue".
 
My 20 year old retired International showjumper, who is a 16.3 gelding that thinks he is a stallion

Was castrated as a 4 year old

Has the weeniest little penis which he loves to wave at all the girls

, but he is French, so that might have something to do with it.

It does happen sometimes: geldings are able to achieve erections, and will mount and even breed mares (hence why geldings should not be kept with pregnant mares)... but (no offense to Cruiseline), her gelding probably only has "little willy" genes... so isn't "big" depsite the fact that he wasn't gelded until he was 4

LOL I did say he was French!!!!!!!!

He has penetrated at least one mare I know of and is NEVER put in with the pregnant broodmares. He is a true gelding not a rig, and apart from his love of the ladies, he has no other stallion like habits.

He is a super uncle to the colts, as being older and a big chap, in character, not under carriage, he keeps them all in line.

why when mention a willy problem you can't get a serious blinking answer from most. Do hope you can find your answer from somone serious

So do think that my friend should have her gelding blood tested? I suppose it wouldn't do any harm!!
He has mounted and as far as I could see fully penatrated my little mare. She is VERY up for it and can barely leave him alone. He occasionally poo's on poo's and have seen him wee on poo's too. He is generally a quiet chap but is seeing off the other geldings and I've noticed his willy dripping a little of what I thought was urine

They've had him a year but this is the first time he's been in with a mare but he's been next one with no problems..
 
I'd wait and see if your mare is pregnant first as it would save your friend some cash cos if she isn't then he isn't a rig.
 
If he is a rig, then any sperm he produces will not be fertile, so pregnancy is not a way of telling, as she will almost certainly not get pregnant (even if he is a rig).

It is probably worth having it investigated for peace of mind, if nothing else, especially going by the observations you have made.
 
There are no absolutes in equine reproduction, but it is extremely unlikely that he could make any mare pregnant. However, if he mounted and penetrated a pregnant mare, then in would cause an abortion, so you should keep that in mind

Yep - I'd agree with that. My RID stallion is a BIG boy (in every regard
grin.gif
) and the colts I have by him are all similarly well endowed. The stallion we stood last year was not a LOT smaller in height, but he WAS rather under-endowed by comparison and the two colts we have by him ARE smaller in 'that' regard than same age colts by the big boy. (I haven't actually measured them - you understand - but with colt foals there's quite a bit of willy-waving goes on and it IS quite noticeable.)

The very BIG stallions can be problematic with smaller mares (try explaining to a male mare owner why your stallion might be too big for his mare!
blush.gif
) and of course some mares are correspondingly smaller in the relevant department too!

We had a mare in to cover with the big stallion who LOOKED a decent size (16.3) and had foaled before (although she had been AI'd - we didn't know that at the time.) After the stallion covered her she went down on the floor and did a dying swan impersonation - frightened the life out of me! When the vet examined her, he found she was abnormally short - and had suffered a very badly bruised cervix. I stuck a note in her passport to the effect that she should NOT be covered naturally, but AI'd. The person who DID AI her previously MUST have noticed that he/she didn't even get to the elbow before reaching the cervix - if they'd done the same it would have saved her a nasty injury, saved me a VERY worrying couple of hours, and the mare owner a vet bill!

If a pregnant mare allowed a gelding/rig/stallion to mount than could there be something wrong with the pregnancy or hormone issue?
 
Unlikely. More likely that she is just in the 10% of mares that experience seasons (to some extent at least) whilst maintaining a normal pregnancy.

However, if it mounting & penetration by any male horse/pony occured, it would almost certainly cause an abortion.
