How do you know if a horse is male or female?

In: Horses
[Edit]

Horse Gender

If you look under the horse's belly, between the hind legs, a male will have a penis which points downwards like a little triangle. (during mating or urinating, it will hang down and be quite long.) A female will have an udder, and when she isn't very pregnant or nursing a foal, it will be small and unnoticeable. If you lift the tail, a male horse will have only an anus, but a female horse will have a vulva below the anus which is just a long slit.
