A male horse that has been castrated (had his testicles removed). A gelded horse is a male horse that has been castrated ie. the testicles removed. This operation is done to almost every colt at around a year of age. It is done because stallions (intact male horses) are often difficult to handle and headstrong, and can be dangerous. Geldings have much calmer temperaments and can be handled by a beginner rider or a child. (Some geldings can still be high strung, but most are gentle; very few stallions are gentle.)
