My yearling flaxen colt :)

Well you don't want him to act studdish. I think they grow slower not gelding them. Because then theyre body is focusing on producing testosterone and sperm. I've always gelded my colts between 8-12 months depending on whether both testies drop. Never had issues with stunting!

The opposite is true. Gelding encourages growth, not stunts it.

No gelding early does not stunt growth ...its actually quite the opposite....your horse would likely get bigger and taller if you gelded earlier.

Its always a good idea to geld BEFORE them become studdy....rather than wait till it happens.

Super Nova....

Actually...there's very little height difference between gelding young and gelding when he's older. It's marginal. Cute guy, I love that pic of him with his head turned with that "WHAAAT? I didn't do anything you can prove."
