I trained a cryptorchid colt as a two year old a couple years ago. He was the moodier thing ever. Worse than a mare. I think his hormones fluctuated a lot. I've trained studs too and at leads they are more consistent. Just know you made the right choice to have the surgery versus leave it alone... The colt I trained was a holy terror. Think of a stallions strength and potential rage and pair that with the up and down moodyness of the worse mare you know. It sucked. They ended up have that surgery in him last year but his habits were already set.
How old is your colt?

Yeah, he just turned 3 in April. He's in training to be a barrel futurity horse, so it definitely needed done.
Like we would be working him and he'd be an angel, but all of a sudden he'd like freak out and do all kinds of weird crap. He's so smart, so it became a waste of his talent to leave it go any longer.
He just started about two weeks ago acting like a stud, so hopefully his habits aren't too set. :)

You should be ok! The people who owned the colt I trained were equine- retarded and did every thing g wrong. Literally. He had no hope anyways lol
Best of luck to you guys! My cousins horse had that surgery as a long yearling and came through fine and is a normal gelding now so it does work if you've made an effort with their behavior :)

I'm hoping so! The boy has big potential, and he is moving along beautifully in his training. So we just gotta get that stud attitude under control. :)
