You should geld a stallion when he reaches his full maturity, just before he is due to be backed. This is normally around the age of 2 or 3 years. Gelding a stallion before this shortens his life span and doesn't encourage full growth of the genitals and therfore creating proplems with the urainry systems.

At what age do you geld a male horse?

at an early age, you don't want to wait so long that they still think they are a stallion even after you geld them, this may cause your horse to become green, be difficult to train, and have bad behavior especially around mares. My advice would to give your vet a call and discuss an appropriate date.


Do stallion horses grow more than geldings?

If I remember correctly, from what I heard, a stallion grows more in muscle tone, while a gelding grows more in hieght. So, if you geld a horse when he is young (before he is 1) he will grow to be taller rather than..whats the word..buffer? something like that. and if you wait longer, then he will get stockier, rather than tall. If you get it in the middle, then you will have a slightly buff, slightly tall horse. However, the longer you wait to geld, the more permanent the stallionish behaviors become ingrained in the horse. If your horse is a nice mannerly colt, you can probably wait, but if he is wild and unruly, its best to geld him ASAP
