What else can I help you with?
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.
Can a gelding still perform the act of covering a mare?
No! a gelding is a neutered male horse. he cannot impregnate a mare. males are gelded so they are easier to control. They can mount a mare, but they cannot get her pregnant.
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.
Can a horse be born as a gelding?
Definately not. All male horses are born stallions, and gelded when around 2-4 Gelding is when a male horses testicles are surgically altered so that he cannot mate anymore. So, no, a horse can't be born as a gelding.

What is a stag horse?
The word stag refers to a male horse that was gelded after he has reached the age of maturity, has been used for breeding before he was gelded or a gelding (no matter his age at the time of gelding) who has stallion like behavior.
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.
What kind of horse is a glending?
If you mean gelding, it is castrating, or "fixing" a male horse. After he was gelded, he would be called a gelding instead of a stallion. If you actually mean glending, then I have no clue what you're talking about, sorry.
What is a female horse that has been 'spayed' called?
A male horse that has been gelded (nuetered) is called a gelding.
What is the mature male hourse called?
If he is still intact he is called a stallion, if he has been gelded (neutered) than he is known as a gelding.
