A male animal is castrated when his testicals are surgically removed. This might be done to prevent the animal from fathering young, to reduce the production of testosterone, or as a treatment for testicular cancer.

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.
