I saw this and I have a question. Not being snarky or sarcastic, I'm truly wondering.
Aren't there vet records kept when a horse is gelded? How could they think he was a gelding if no one ever set him up to have the procedure done?

Does this mean if he races in North Carolina he has to be put in a different barn than the other "male" horses?

Currently being litigated in the appellate district. North Carolina vs. Mr. Ed. Bruce Springsteen is paying the legal fees on Mr. Ed's behalf. Otherwise, Suddenbreaking News has to segregate to his own piss house and stall area.

These replies are hysterical. 
To my understanding a ridgling is a horse with one undescended testicle and are still able to breed. Not sure what you'd call one with both testicles undescended. They would have to be as sterile as a gelding since the internal body heat would kill the sperm cells.
In humans undescended testicles are usualy operated on to get them to drop since they have a tendency to become cancerous if left up.

You'd call him a ridgling. The definition is a male horse with one OR BOTH testicles undescended. Just keeping it real, because as we all know sexual identification has become "sudden breaking" news worthy.

Thanks for clarifying that. Looks like "sexual identification" is becoming an issue with horses too.

Interesting. A friend of mine owns a stallion by AP Indy and he is also a ridgling - the horse not the owner.
Wonder if the condition can be hereditary?

Sounds as though the condition of ridgling doesn't effect the quality of studmanship.

Developmental or hereditary , I believe ...and it's been seen to have passed down in Some of the Seatle Slew line .

I think that depends on the age the testicle drops or if surgically done and
they likely test the testosterone level ..
