[RC] feeding colts/gelding colts - Ed Kilpatrick

hi bob, nobody really addressed your question on gelding and how it might affect neck growth.   i think that it really doesnt have much effect.  for the most part, i think the size and shape of the neck on a horse has more to do with the breed and genetics than anything else.  i have gelded colts as young as six months and on up to two year olds.  i dont really think the age that they were gelded affected how "thick"  their necks grew as adult horses.      ed
