Dr. O,

I've been around horses most of my life and I have never actually asked this question - What is meant by "proud cut"? I have been around numerous geldings that exhibit stallion behavior around mares in cycle. Some will drop (flacid) mount and get down. I've always "assumed" proud cut refers to stallion-like behavior by geldings. But, yesterday I saw a gelding who is labled "proud cut" mount a mare and actually penetrate. He was cut a number of years ago after being used for breeding just a few mares. I've never seen him do this before, but found out that about a month ago he was given a shot of testosterone for medical reasons. I assume that the testosterone has boosted his libido, so to speak. I was surprised the first time someone told me he was proud cut because he's always been so docile - so "gelding" in nature - until this incident. Sorry for the long post, but a good definition of proud cut would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Patti Ellis

It is an article on castration Laura that discusses "proud cut" horses. See Horse Care » Equine Management & Routine Procedures » Castration in Horses. Right now the combination of articles and discussions has made configuring a search engine that does both well difficult. However in the next week or two we will be going through a large upgrade where this problem will disappear.
