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.

A gelding is simply a male horse that has been castrated. The vast majority of male horses are gelded because stallions are unpredictable and often aggressive.

Why would a gelding try to mount a mare?
There are several reasons for this. Most likely, the gelding was gelded late. This means that he would have the characteristics of a stallion, and possibly the mannerisms (mounting etc.). This could occur if the gelding has been gelded a few days ago, and not a few weeks. It takes about 3 weeks for the testosterone to flush out of his system after he's been castrated. Another possibility is that when he was castrated, the person doing the castrating didn't take out the spermatic sac that is above the testes, which would cause the gelding to act more like a stag or a stallion than a real gelding.
