I don't think they originally intended to, but then he had a studly moment one day when he was riding him and dumped the guy. Amazing how something like that'll change your mind ain't it? ;o) I wasn't originally going to geld Bob either, but when he thought with his testicles one too many times, I decided they had to go. Best decision I ever made. He's SO much calmer now.
When the vet cut them off Lightning Mark said "WOW they are huge.........as big as mine", and gave the vet a choking fit! LOL
