My old stallion GB is hardly a stallion at all anymore. All he has down there are prunes. and he does not need gelding for behavioral reasons. he does not act like a stud in any way. What I need to know... does anyone know if gelding a horse late in life will help them as far as keeping/gaining weight... I know testosterone keeps stallions svelte but I dont know if its the virile running around that keeps the weight off or hormone production per se. my husband is afraid GB is too decrepit to take the strain of major sedation but he did ok with his teeth except it took him a week to get over and the next day he was pretty bad off... and gelding would be even more sedation than that... should I just get used to the idea that his ribs are always gonna show??
