It is very common for male horses to be gelded, and this procedure is performed on almost every colt at a young age. But have you ever wondered why it is necessary to geld a horse?
A gelding is a male equine that has had both of its testicles removed during a surgical procedure. The term gelding is used for all types of equines – horses, ponies, zebras, mules, and donkeys.
So, as we have learned, a gelding is a male horse that has had its testicles removed during a surgical procedure. The reasons to geld a horse are that a gelding is no longer able to impregnate female horses.
