Following on from the hotshoeing/branding thread does your gelding like his sheath cleaned.

Cappy has "issues" with being touched there, he is extremely protective of that area, is it because he remembers being gelded? That said he does enjoy it when he accepts it :eek:

Is he just odd or are other gelding sensitive in that area?
 
As dodgy as it sounds, I think D quite enjoys it!!! :D:eek::D Hes constantly got it out and dangling everywhere, in the field, the stable, ridden, when Im trying to brush his back legs..............;)

Not many horses will like there sheath being touched, My boy isn't keen on it but will let me clean it. Have you tried giving your boy a bowl of feed to distract him? x

Thanks for the reply. He is okay to do, just a bit dodgy to start. Plus I think I have the only horse in the world who can't be bribed with food!
 
Mine really doesnt like his done, he will try to kick me everytime I touch it for too long. But my friends horse absolutley loves it!! Hes always got this really pervvy relaxed face on when I do it and he starts grooming my friend and the wall. He always looks dissapointed when I stop.
 
My boy loves it! Has the happiest face in the world and also tries to groom you/wall! Dont even need to tie him up will stand good as gold even for a good clean with the cold hose! Always thought he was a little "different"!
 
Strangly, I done my boy today for the first time. Iv always had mares so it was a bit strange. Honestly though he was going to give me the back legs but he loved it!! His lip was going crazy and he seemed a bit upset when i stopped!

Must admit it kinda freaked me out
