Is called a Gelding. This mean that they can't produce foals.

Actually, that is 100% incorrect. A male horse that is used for breeding is called a stallion (also referred to as a stud).

It is called a gelding. This means the stallion has been castrated. Colts and stallions can be gelded from the moment they are born until they turn 6.

- I believe a male horse parent is called a sire and a horse kept for breeding is a stud.
