I don't sedate my Stallion or my Geldings. I also don't recommend Ivory Soap, because it does leave a residue...there are commercially prepared products for this, or your vet can recommend a good cleaner. I usually have someone hold a leg up while I am handling the Stallion or if I am alone, I can place him up against the wall of his stall. FYI white or lighter colored horses tend to become dirty faster. -

I have three geldings and two stallions, and their sheaths get cleaned every six months. They don't seem to mind it, so I do not need to sedate them

Some horses like getting their sheath/teats cleaned and some hate it. I have been lucky. All of my horses think this process feels absolutely delicious. It makes it a lot easier. But don't wait to find out if your horse likes it or not. It's always better to be safe. The first time you clean your horses sheath, get a vet to do it, and observe. If the horse needs to be sedated, remember that.

Please don't scrub horses' privates. They don't like it!

When you have a stallion, the easiest way to get the guy to relax his sheath is to tease him with a mare. When he is hanging, walk him a short distance away and then do your washing. Be careful and remember that he is a stallion and unpredictable.

A tickle/rub on the tummy also works.

Mares also get a build up of oil, urine and dead skin in between their nipples. This also needs to be cleaned, especially if she is expecting. It is very important to keep stud's and gelding's genitalia clean, as well as mares!

A horse that will not drop his penis down can be washed inside his sheath. You start with putting soap on your hand and have a pail of water next to you or a hose with warm water in it. Insert your hand into the sheath and clean the inside the best you can, until you have no more smegma coming out with your hand (when you withdraw your hand from the sheath). Make sure your hand is slippery with soap and water. After you have removed the smegma and things are coming out cleaner, rinse with warm water or just put the hose up to the sheath and close it off till water returns clean. At first the horse will be a little afraid of this procedure but will get use to it the more you do it. Watch for walnuts inside the urethra when cleaning the sheath. You can tell if a male horse is caring a walnut inside his urethra by the way he is peeing. If he is spraying a wide urine trail and not a nice flow of urine, he is caring a walnut in his urethra. He may be walking slower and seem a bit lazy too. But the real tell tail sign is how he is voiding! To remove the walnut, insert your baby finger into the tip of the urethra and hook it out. (A walnut is a build up of oils and dirt that sits just inside the urethra and it looks just like a black walnut.) If you have a vet sedate the animal, be careful because he can still kick you. Be careful at all times when handling a horse.

Many horses only require sheath cleaning once or twice a year. These owners are so lucky! My gelding needs his cleaned every few weeks. If I waited half a year, it would be disgusting for me, and painful for him. Let your horse guide you - if it's dirty, clean it!
