That's an excellent question to bring up, especially with this breed, since
there is an extraordinarily high percentage of colts here that are lef

My vet works mainly with Quarter Horses and Arabs. She says most folks geld
when the colt has enough neck to not look mare-ish or ewe necked. When
pondering my Fjord colt, she said that was not going to be an issue!!

Just thought I's mention how it works in Norway.
We usually never geld until they are three - so this is a big difference. It
seems like all the ones gelded early are doing equally well here in the U.S.

Having left Odin until he was one year, I think it would have been better to
geld him earlier(or not at all...he is turning out to be a very nicely

Hi
Just my experience. I have one gelding, (western
stock) that is big and proportional (not fat), well
behaved, yet stubborn at times. He has a great neck
and people ask (When was he gelded?) would you believe
3 months? He was in AK and needed

I agree 100% with everything in your post, and therefore reiterate the

You can geld really anytime you want. The younger you geld, the easier
it is on them. Weanlings hardly swell at all when gelded and don't seem
to miss them much. On average you will get an inch or two more growth if
you geld weanlings compared to gelding
tall and long-legged when gelded
early.

Hi listers!
When is the right time to geld?
As long as the testicles are down in a colt(4-5months old) is it OK to geld?
Or is it better to wait until they are at least a year old? Does it have
any effect on their growth or de
