This colt is 14 months now and only one testie is visible. It will be droped one day, gone the next but no matter what I can always feel it. Con't find the other and three months ago he was at the Vet for his coggins and the Vet could not find it either, she said to give it more time. I would like to have an idea the % chance it will appear and % chance it will not and he is a crip. I think they are not considered a crip until they are 2? I have not had this issue with a colt before so I am just not sure how much of as chance their is that it will drop. I did talk to one breeder and she said she had one that did not drop until 2. She also mentioned the aronosas tend to mature late? We have/have had three other colts out of the same sire as this guy that droped by a year old. One is only 3 months and already has one droped. Now the sire is all aronosa. This guy is all aronasa because his mother is too. The other 3 out of the same sire are only half aronosa, their mothers are not aronosa.
Okay now the reason why I need to know if he still may drop is because I want to get him gelded but would rather not spend an extra $200 to have him gelded as he is now if their is still a good chance he may drop. I realy do want him gelding soon as he is very study and being gelded would allow me to start realy working with him and it will be nice for him to be able to play with the others, He has been by himself for a long time...and he wants a play mate so bad! All we have are fillies/mares and one gelding. He used to be with the gelding, but he started to play way to rough with him(trying to proove he is the "man").
Thanks in advance!
