People will sometimes buy horses at sales that were advertised as geldings, but are really cryptorchids and the seller didn't want to pay for the surgery.
Thanks Dr W! This is more logical. I've certainly had dogs and cats who exhibited "sexual" behavior despite being spayed/neutered. I guess many behaviors are as psychological as they are physical. I saw an ad recently and had to laugh -- a mean-looking white pony was advertised as "intact, but acts like a gelding because he's a cryptorchid."
