Before the advent of anesthesia, horses were gelded using a method called "open castration," typically performed by experienced veterinarians or farriers. The procedure involved restraining the horse, often using a twitch or halter, and then removing the testicles through an incision made in the scrotum. Pain management was minimal, relying on techniques such as quick execution and the horse's natural shock response to minimize distress. In some cases, the use of local irritants or herbal remedies was employed to help manage pain, though these were not very effective.

When do geldings get gelded?
Geldings have already been gelded: They are castrated male horses, which means their testes have already been removed. To "geld" is to castrate a male horse like a stallion or colt. Thus, geldings do not need to be castrated because they have already had the surgery done on them earlier in their lives. Horses (more specifically stallions or colts) can be gelded at any age but most are gelded when they are around yearlings or two-year olds, usually right after their testicles drop, or before they reach sexual maturity. However it's not uncommon to have stallions gelded after reaching sexual maturity, especially if they are no longer needed for breeding purposes, or even to calm the horse down, since stallions are more difficult to handle due to hormones than mares or geldings.

What is a stallion?
A stallion is a fully grown male horse (over 4 years old, before that age he is called a colt) who has not been castrated. A male horse that has been castrated is called a gelding, and most male horses are gelded because stallions are often unpredictable and moody. Most stallions are only left intact (not gelded) because they are wanted for breeding. There is no other reason to leave a horse entire.
