to geld or not to geld

[Pedigree Ann]

Kelso and Forego and John Henry and The Tin Man and our late lamented Border Collie Hobbes had plenty of 'personality and spirit.' These qualities do not reside in the testicles. It is likely that your boy is a) showing too much interest in the ladies, and becoming difficult to control or even dangerous as a result, or b) is getting too heavy in the shoulder/neck area too young, which would put him at risk for front leg injuries. Unless your colt is a grade AA pedigreed stud prospect you paid a mint for, gelding is a logical choice in many cases. Hash it over thoroughly with your trainer.
