Re: [RC] geldiing an an older stallion-question for Angie and others - heidi larson

I have 3 geldings, one gelded at around 3 I think, is herd
alpha but not studdy, my main gelding was gelded at 5,
(he's 11 now) has a couple kids on the ground and will
tease, mount and penetrate, other than that, he doesn't act
studdy at all.  Rescued a 19 year old stud, had him gelded
(puppy mill kind of place - he's got lots of kids) and he's
our submissive, low man horse, only thing studdy he does is
poop in one spot still!!!  All different.

Here is my unprofessional take on this issue.
I have ridden numerous geldings over the years.  One was
gelded at 2, never 
serviced a mare, and did not act studdy.  One we raised
was gelded at 13 
months and acts very studdy.  He could...and
would...mount and penetrate a 
mare, even though he is a gelding.  One I bought was not
gelded until 
several years old (he is 10 now) and after he sired
several foals.  He is 
not studdy at all.  I think it must depend on the
individual.

I've heard that a stallion that is gelded later in life

still acts

stallionish? Is this true? Does it matter if he's bred

a mare before or

not?

I know I read on ridecamp that Angie got a stallion, 7

years old I think,

and then I think she said she just had it gelded. Can

you keep us up to

date on how he behaves in his training?

Just courious. Something else to think about besides

Tevis.
