We are getting Lightning, Adge and Thunder "done" all at the same time. I am not sure but I think the vet prefers the young ones to be 5/6 months. He will come here and do them all. Smokey is already a gelding, but still strutts his stuff for the girls! LOL

Geldings will do that. So long as that can't do "THAT" well.... thank goodness for the old snipper-roo. :-) We had a gelding that would act VERY studly with "HIS" mare. We housed him in a paddock with a mare and he would charge the fence whenever anyone came near them. Needless to say that tryst ended right quick.

I did remember to ask my vet when I picked up Bob from his "operation" about whether it's better to do them early or to wait until they're older and he said it was really just the owner's preference. He did go on to say that at 6 mths, some colts may not have both testicles descended yet. He also said that on some horses, they are descended at birth and stay that way, but on others they go back up and come down later. That was news to me. "The Amazing Yo-Yo Testicles"! LOL!
