| Yes Nippy, it is a slim chance. You can ask your vet to make sure that he is ready for gelding to be sure.

| Sarita, they had to go digging for the other testicle in this wee guy as they thought they had both dropped, but found that not to be true this time round. He had a horrible time of it and was really sore afterwards. Gelding procedures can go wrong and they can leave a testicle in there (rig) and also they can leave tissue behind as well. Your vet is probably right when all the circumstances are great, but when they're not, there is always room for something to get left behind. I think this wee guy should have been left until he was a year old and I'm sure it would have been better on him.

sarita Super Jockey (52) | i've talked to many vets about horses not being gelded properly and they say it is almost impossible to geld incorrectly as it is obvious if you've left some in there, but the story of improper geldings stems from horses that have learnt the colt behaviour and stay very coltish after they've been gelded as that's how they know to behave, some grow out of it others don't

balladonna RR Addict (2355) | one of our ponies went through a traumatic gelding. He behaves like a true stallion (mounts etc, can be a little -: Brownie :-!). we have had him tested to see if he is a rig and hes not, he is what you call a false rig. I was told it can take up to a year (sometimes longer if the colt/stallion is gelding in his mature years) for them to settle. our pony was gelded as around 1-2yrs of age (we think?) and he is now 10yrs! so obviously sometimes they don't settle.

| The trainer has brought the yearling down (he is 18months old) to start to bring back into work. He looks so small compared to the foal that just went away. Unfortunately he has been kicked in the knee overnight  He has a nasty nature so is going to take some work. Poor thing went through a nasty gleding at 6 months of age and hasn't been himself since. Very angry at the world. I am thinking maybe they have left some testicular tissue there as he is very coltish. Has anyone else had this trouble with geldings? Did they come right?
