Our New forest x cob colt was due to be gelded yesterday. The vet could only find one testicle so could'nt proceed. He said that as the colt is now 17 months it is unlikly that the other one will drop on its own and that he will need to go to hospital and have surgery to locate it. The colt was only weaned from his mum when he was 15 months old and was still suckling. It's just a thought but could the late weaning have an influence on his hormones and therefore why he only has one ball!! We would like to give him more time to see what happens before going the surgical route with the risks involved. He is a well behaved chap at the moment so from that point of view we can keep him as he is for now. Can anyone give me any advice as to how long we should wait to see if the other one appears
