Gelding
A gelding is a castrated horse or other equine such as a donkey or a mule. Castration, and the elimination of hormonally driven behavior associated with a stallion, allows a male horse to be calmer and better-behaved, making the animal quieter, gentler and potentially more suitable as an everyday working animal. As a verb, "gelding" or "to geld" refers to the castration procedure itself. ==Etymology== The word comes from the Old Norse ''geldr'' ("barren").〔Thompson, D. F. (ed.) 1995. ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English.'' (9th edition.) Oxford: Clarendon Press.〕
