Castration: Creation of a Gelding from a Colt or Stallion
May 29, 2003
Castration is normally performed on colts to make them more tractable and easier to handle....
In horses whose pedigree does not indicate that they are likely to be a stallion, a unilateral cryptorchid is often castrated on both sides, normal and abnormal, during the same surgical procedure to facilitate the horse?s race career...
...The castration of a horse, once it is decided that it will not be a stallion, makes them much more tractable in training and a much more effective athlete. Many of the famous geldings of the past were totally ineffective racehorses as intact males and became stars once gelded.
