I've never owned a gelding, so I've never done this before. I've been blessed with fillies. How often do they need to be cleaned? My old trainer had a gelding who would make a sound when he trotted, like a whooping sound, which we thought was his gut, until the vet pulled a two-inch-long bean out of his sheath.
This horse isn't thin! He looks right weight to me, maybe a little droopy from sedatives, but that's it.
@JadedSketches He was a bit thin from sores in his mouth that affected the entire herd due to foxtails in the hay. He recovered weight quickly. Generally I get the sheaths clean when their teeth are floated. I call it a "teeth and sheath" day. At least once a year but twice is better for sheath cleanings. The sound is made from air building in their sheaths...happened to my stud colt too before I gelded him.
Thanks for the video, I've learned a lot. As far as washing him down and then rinsing, what did you wash him with, ivory soap or a sheath cleaner? Also,did you use several buckets of warm water or did you just rinse out the cloth in the same bucket? You can tell I've never done this, I've had mares. And another crazy question, would you wait for summer or can it be done in winter? Thank you
@honeyloaf72 I did not clean him..that is my vet cleaning him..I believe she used a sheath cleaner or a mild soap. You dont have to wait til summer..I think it was feburary when this video was made
If you didn't take good care of him it's unlikely that you'd have a vet out for a sheath cleaning. There are thousands of "backyard" owners out there that don't even know what a sheath is...
I have noticed scads of immature people on YouTube -- mostly teens who have not one wit of sense about horses (or anything else). I'm glad you're approving comments (wish everyone else would do that). Good info here.
I read that stallions are actually easier to clean there than geldings. Have you found this to be true?
I am now only allowing comments with my approval first. I am sick of ignorant people acting like I am a bad owner because my horse was thin in this and the floating videos. It was a medical issue that was cared for. try thinking about circumstances before shooting off ignorance at the mouth. All of my horses are healthy and seen regularly by a vet.
I had a gelding who let me take out his bean sans medication. He was very cooperative .... perhaps a kinky horse har har har. Well, it has to be done.
yes, my horse was on a sedative. 3 sheets to the wind lol. He needs it. If you watch the first sheath video, he still kicks out when she first touches his sheath and that was with him being drugged up. Thats why my vet does it and not me. My old horse didnt care but Aslan has spirit.
When you are grooming the horse.rub your hand over the horse lightly and under the horse and try touching his sheath do this every time you groom him so he will get use to being touch there and when cleaning only use just luke warm water only , Not hot or cold , only just warm room tem all so your mare needs the same at times clean her under rear between her legs where her you know what are they need clening too .And all ways talk to your horse when you are doing this watch for any reaction
I want to say...That this video is posted for educational purposes ONLY. I will NOT tolerate any sexual or lewd comments posted nor will I befriend any requests for such that have that mentality.
when pulling the pen*s down, how do you know you're pulling the right part. I have difficulty cleaning my gelding's sheath cos I can't get the pen*s out. There's always some curd left when he puts it out later.
if I had a breeding stallion I would do it more, but since he is a gelding....I do it once a year when he is already sedated for teeth floating. I call it "Teeth and Sheath Day". :)
I didnt do it, ,the vet did. Usually once you get your hand in the sheath, you can grab it and gently pull it down. Some horses give it up easier than others. My horse sedated already from the teeth floating so he was good and relaxed.
This is part of owning a male horse. Everyone else who has sent private comments has agreed that this is a good thing to share and educational. Obviously, you are too immature to handle reality.
