Not when performed in the field. It is a clean surgery simply because it is nearly impossible to maintain sterile technique in those kinds of conditions. That doesn't mean that the veterinary team doesn't do everything they can to minimize contamination.
I don't think that's a good idea. Years ago it was a common practice but hindsight is 20/20. Castration is surgery. The only person qualified to do surgery is a vet. Even a simple surgery if not done properly could be fatal to your horse.
Unlike with other animals, horse are not brought to the place of castration, the vet comes to you. Call your vet, ask if he does castrations, (he should) if not ask if he knows a vet who does.
castrate is when you make a stallion from 2 to 6 yrs a gelding, in other words making it so they can't breed by doing a small surgery. castration gives the horse more skills
Orchidectomy

The cost will vary according to location, the horse, and the veterinarian themselves. However typically a castration will cost between $100 to $2,000 (US).
Yes
Sometimes. Anyone touching the patient or anything else that will touch the patient (instruments, drapes, etc.) or touch the surgical table or equipment in the sterile surgical field, must be sterile, including the gloves. However, all types of surgical gloves are not sterile, but those used in surgery must be. Other procedures (outside of surgery) are considered "clean" but not "sterile", in those cases, non-sterile gloves can be used.
donkeys are sterile
Mule :)
I believe an LHC gelding would be a male horse, who has been height certified (Life height Certification) through the JMB (Joint Measurement Board), and the horse has been gelded (castrated--testicles removed--with a dog or cat, the phrase is "neutered")
A sterile mare is a female horse that cannot breed.
