when my nasi was gelded it was found that his ingual ring was open and
gut fluid was in his scrotum and the vet said it could have led to
hernia where his intestines might have descended into the scrotum. And
he said that would be life threatening. I didnt get the full grasp of
that til today, one of my favorite young horses was purchased last
week by a friend and my friend called to say they gelded him this
morning, not by a vet, and when the man (experienced at it) made the
incision his intestines spilled out in a big pile into his hands. The
vet came and they had to put him down I am just shocked. The vet
said nothing they had done could have made it a different outcome
unless they had known beforehand and sent him to Auburn.

That's why vets usually before the castration feel the inguinal rings rectally
to a assess the risk of intestines coming out and if necessary recommend to
geld the horse in general anesthesia. Not 100% sure but reduces the risk a lot.
