Do stallion horses grow more than geldings?

If you get it in the middle, then you will have a slightly buff, slightly tall horse. However, the longer you wait to geld, the more permanent the stallionish behaviors become ingrained in the horse. If your horse is a nice mannerly colt, you can probably wait, but if he is wild and unruly, its best to geld him ASAP
