![]() Probably not needed, since the penis is normally held inside the body.īreeding in horses is very fast. There isn’t any kind of foreskin on it, like on humans. I presume the purpose of this swelling is to block the passage, so that the stallion’s sperm moves in the right direction up towards the mare’s egg. During & after ejaculation, this swells outward, and can get to 4-6 inches across, about the width of a typical saucer. The head end of a stallion’s penis is basically flat, rather than rounded like on a human. It’s large compared to humans, but seems to me to be pretty much in proportion to their body size. We never measured any, actually, it never mattered size varied by stallion, but all seemed sufficient to effectively breed a mare. Think of a typical large kielbasa or similar sausage in the grocery store. Wait! That sounds real odd… I didn’t mean mean it like that!Īnyway, on a typical adult stallion (excluding draft horse breeds), the penis is about 2.5-3 inches in diameter, and length is about 12-18 inches. Growing up on a horse breeding & training farm, I have much experience with horse penises. ![]() My brother once dated a girl whose job it was to masturbate pigs for artificial insemination programs (way back in the '70s here in rural America). Random animal penis trivia: Possums have forked penises. I’ve heard the barnacle story as well, which refered to penis size proportional to overall body size.ĭried ox pizzles have long been used as walking sticks in certain parts of the world, if that tells you anything. A site called TAG Online has a listing for it, but the specific page is currently 404. I’ve actually seen this poster (it’s not an urban legend) but for some reason it’s become hard to come by. There is indeed a poster called “Penises of the Animal Kingdom” which shows just that in scaled lithographs. Otherwise, there ain’t much to notice, hence the phrase “obvious as balls on a dog” rather than “obvious as a penis on a horse”. I’ve seen penises on live equines that nearly scrape the ground – but only, of course, when said male equine is in active pursuit of a female equine. There’s a reason for the expression “hung like a horse”. You will be able look for any abnormalities at this time.I’ve heard different people say horses are 3 feet long or 5 feet long or “not much bigger than us.” What’s the deal? How large is a horse’s cough? Have your veterinarian check the sheath when they do routine vaccinations once or twice a year and pay attention when your horse drops his penis to urinate. Also make sure you aren’t missing more serious problems such as infection, lacerations or tumors. Summer sores are a difficult and time consuming condition to treat. The good news is that we’ve never had a horse with a serious problem from a dirty sheath, but a dirty sheath attracts more flies which can cause summer sores (habronemiasis). Happy 2016! Now you know what smegma is and what you can do about it. Many horses are fine with never having their sheath cleaned but you should monitor it and be aware of when there may be a problem. A third choice available is to do nothing. That is when you will need to call your veterinarian. Remember though, if your horse does have a bean it may be uncomfortable and he may require sedation to remove it. One, you call your veterinarian to clean the sheath, or two, you roll up your sleeves, put on some gloves, get some very gentle soap and your bucket of cotton and water and clean it yourself. You have two choices on dealing with smegma. Often the force of the urine stream will dislodge the bean but sometimes it won’t. This is another indication of a possible bean. Sometimes you notice that when they urinate the stream goes sideways or just dribbles.
