DAS1 -- Thanks for the question!A gelded horse is a neutered horse, usually a male who has had his testicles removed. Jim and Lynda McCall, who are horse breeders, explain why it’s done: The Old Place "Castrating Stallions" (Nov. 8, 2001) http://www.the-old-place.com/Pool_-_Castrating_Stallions.htm The role of natural growth hormones in arresting growth in males causes geldings to be taller and have longer legs - - thus longer strides when racing. Google search strategy: gelding + horses + rationale Best regards, Omnivorous-GA |
