My colt turned 1 on April 25th and has yet to "drop". I'm having a hard time selling him as a stallion and may have better luck gelded. This is my first experience with a colt. When do they normally drop? I was hoping to get this done before fly season.

Any info out there would be appreciated!
 
Can you feel the testicles? The don;'have to be "hanging" in the scrotum like an adult stallion...as long as you can feel both, they can easily be done.
 
I have an appointment made for my little guy already...for when he is a month old. I figure there is no sense in putting him through the "colt-dumbs" for nothing. :bgrin

Yup...second thing I check for on a foal...first check is "boy-girl", and if a boy...has he got 'em?

He may already be dropped. I've had a few who were gelded young and I only thought I might have felt them... I was not really sure until the vet was here. Hopefully, that will be the case with your guy, too.
