My horses penis keeps um dropping? Please help quickly!

A good wrap of Duct tape? No, no, just kidding! As everyone has said, he is just relaxed and comfortable with you, and having him work a little bit is a good tactic. You are lucky in a way; many people can't get near their horses there, and have to have them sedated to do simple routine cleaning. Be gentle with him, and keep a sense of humor about it...

Or it fell off

I'm not the only one who started a penis thread?!

I LOL'ed this whole thread.

OP- at least it is just sitting there and letting it hang loosely. Drifter likes to *ahem* play with it (which he gets in major trouble for). I have been told by my vet this could be because he was gelded at 6 after having already bred.

Y'know what they say! Boys will be boys :) Drifter's is always hanging out as long as we arent riding. When I walk up, it comes up to say hey. As long as he isnt "disrespectful" with it, I don't care. Its actually helped me spot a bout of colic. I walked up, it didnt come out - and that couple with some other things- I knew something was up.

He obviously so totally relaxed with you, that is a good thing.....I wouldn't be embarassed about that.....people who don't know that of course don't understand why they drop it when they are relaxed!

Guys, this post is from 2008. It's nearly 5 years old. If the OP is still here, she either has dealt with his happy self, or doesn't care about it anymore

Check his sheath! Horses need good hygiene care too, especially geldings. Some horses can get large beans inside the sheath that make it uncomfortable for them to retract. If you do not know how to clean the sheath, see if there is an experienced horse person at your barn who can show you or have the vet do it. This is an important part of maintains your horse's health and comfort.

For the occasional time they drop a "gentle" pat on the belly behind the girth is enough. Please don't hit him.

Oh, how embarrassing. I never noticed how old the thread was. It's like walking into the library and saying a few words with some someone sitting in a chair, never noticing that they are actually dead.
