How do you geld a horse?

Answer:
The castration of a male horse is a complex operation. If you love your horse, please consult a veterinarian. Gelding is NOT an operation that you can carry out at home. It is excruciatingly painful for the horse if not done with proper anaesthesia and the quietest animal will probably injure you badly.

If you just cut off the testicles, you will cause such severe haemorraging that you could even kill the horse. Vets go through a complicated procedure to remove them and sometimes just crush the spermatic cord without removing the testicles.

Whichever method is used, it is absolutely not a job for anybody except a competent, qualified vet. Do not risk hurting your horse and yourself by trying to do it without the proper knowledge and equipment.

Do not try to do this on your own. I have seen a vet in the process of gelding a horse. it is difficult even for trained vets. if you try to by yourself, even if you are a skilled horseperson, unless you are a vet it is not smart at all to geld it yourself. Call a vet. you and/or your horse would go through horrible pain or death. consult avet
