There are several terms. The medical term would be cryptorchid, although this implies that the testicle was left accidentally and a competent vet should have found both testicles and removed them. If the testicle was deliberately left during castration (which is a potential breach of veterinary medical ethics if the horse is sold as a gelding but is actually still a stallion) then the stallion would be called 'proud cut' or a 'ringling'. This was somewhat common in circus horses, where one testicle was removed to improve the horse's temperment and make him easier to control but the other was left so that the horse would look like a stallion (develop the thicker neck, heavy muscling, etc.).

What is an aldut male horse called?

If uncastrated, a stallion. If castrated, a gelding.Did you mean "what is a male horse called?"If so, then a male horse who has not been castrated is called a Stallion and one who has been castrated is called a Gelding.


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.

Why does your 2yr old cult horse only show 1 testicle?

A Cryptorchid is a male horse who has at least one testicle that was retained in the abdomen. Normally a colt's testicles will descend or "drop" at about 1 year, and a ring (Inguinal ring) closes above it to keep it in the scrotum. Sometimes the ring closes and leaves the testicle in the abdomen instead of the scrotum.

Can a horse have babies with one nut?

it should be possible for a horse to have babies even though it has 1 testicle. In each testicle thre are tubes called semineferous tubules, these produce sperm through with the camand of the hormone testesterone. If the DNA of the horse has no sign of mutations that causes infertility then they should be fertile. Remember, the two testicles are only there to be able to produce enuf sperm to be ejaculated into the female because not alot ov these sperms survive due to the high acidic level inside the females sexual part. So even though he has one nut he still produces fertile sperm :)
