The term 'proud' gelded means that a bit of testicular tissue was left behind during the gelding process and that the horse is still producing a higher level of testosterone and acting like a stallion.

Can a proud cut gelding impregnate a mare?
No - a gelded stallion is a stallion who has had his testicles removed surgically. Because the testicles are required to produce sperm, a gelded horse (usually referred to as a gelding) does not produce sperm and therefore cannot impregnate a mare.
What do you call a horse that is not gelded properly?
The term for a 'not quite gelded' gelding is 'Proud Cut' . This term was and still is used for horses that retain some of their testicular tissues which continue to produce testosterone and therefore cause the gelding to act like a stallion. The incidence of Proud Cut geldings is nearly zero in modern times as the gelding procedure has vastly improved over the years.
How long will it take to lose stallion behavior after gelding?
This depends on the horse as an individual and how long he was a stallion before being gelded. If the stallion was already gentle, then it shouldn't take long. If the stallion was gelded before he was 2 years old, then it will take less time to lose his stallion behaviors than if he was gelded when he was 5. Another factor is if he has ever bred a mare. If he has, then it will most likely take a really long time to lose his stud behaviors. Training can help too.
Can a gelding grow a second set of testicles if they have been gelded?
No. Once a horse has been "cut" or gelded, they cannot grow a new set of testicles. HOWEVER, sometimes when a horse is being gelded, the vet may not get BOTH testicles. (This seems to be quite common. I've known several horses that still had one testicle. Apparently, it is easy to miss one testicle when gelding...perhaps because both testicles had not "dropped" when the the horse was gelded) A horse with one testicle remaining is often referred to as a "jig". "Proud cut" is another term. Male horses with one testicle will continue to exhibit the tendencies and personality of a stallion. They will and CAN mate with (and impregnate) a female. It is important that the vet verify that they remove both testicles when gelding. A side note: Sometimes, even though a male has been gelded, they "don't get the memo" (LOL) and don't realize that they are no longer a stallion. They will continue to try to mate with females who are in season. This is especially true when a male horse has been gelded later in life.
Why would a gelding try to mount a mare?
There are several reasons for this. Most likely, the gelding was gelded late. This means that he would have the characteristics of a stallion, and possibly the mannerisms (mounting etc.). This could occur if the gelding has been gelded a few days ago, and not a few weeks. It takes about 3 weeks for the testosterone to flush out of his system after he's been castrated. Another possibility is that when he was castrated, the person doing the castrating didn't take out the spermatic sac that is above the testes, which would cause the gelding to act more like a stag or a stallion than a real gelding.
Is it advisable to geld a 6 yo stallion after he has served mares?
Yes it is okay for you to geld him, but how many mares did he cover? If it is more then 3 then you have to whatch out for he might become proud cut. But it is entirly possible for himm to be gelded and just fine.
Does a stallion have to be a certain age to be cut or will they still be a proud cut horse at age 6?
no they do not have to be a certain age though if they have been a stallion for a while and if he has bred a mare then he might still act a little studdy afterwards

What is a horse with one testicle called?
There are several terms. The medical term would be cryptorchid, although this implies that the testicle was left accidentally and a competent vet should have found both testicles and removed them. If the testicle was deliberately left during castration (which is a potential breach of veterinary medical ethics if the horse is sold as a gelding but is actually still a stallion) then the stallion would be called 'proud cut' or a 'ringling'. This was somewhat common in circus horses, where one testicle was removed to improve the horse's temperment and make him easier to control but the other was left so that the horse would look like a stallion (develop the thicker neck, heavy muscling, etc.).
What do you do if a guy is talking to your girlfriend?
Do you trust her? Sounds like you don't... And you should be proud that she's your girlfriend. She's obviously a catch if guys are constantly talking to her...
How do you know if your horse is proud cut?
Only a vet will be able to tell for sure if your horse is proud cut. There are many geldings that still exhibit stallion-like behaviour but are not truly proud cut, or retaining part of all of a testicle. If you have one of these 'strong' geldings he may need some behaviour modification and training. But sometimes it is a life long problem and can be altered just so much.
