Re: undecended testicle.

The vaginal ring (the "hole" the testicle descends through) closes in the first fortnight after birth, so a testicle that has not descended by 2 weeks after birth will not descend.

It's nothing to do with late weaning, and it is most likely is caused by genetic factors.

He will probably start to become stallion-like in his behaviour in the next 1-2 months. There's no point leaving it, so I would sort out the problem sooner rather than later
