One thing they don’t warn you about when you own a gelding; you’re the one cleaning his sheath 🥲

- It’s that day of the year that every horse (and owner) loves! (Sarcasm)
Being a gelding, sheath cleaning is a huge part of ensuring Rudnik stays clean and healthy. For stallions/studs and in the wild, the male horses are able to keep themselves clean with use (no I’m not kidding). Unfortunately when you have a gelding, ‘it’ doesn’t get used as often so it’s up to us (the owners) to keep them clean.
Rudnik has always been such a good sport when it comes to this, even despite getting jabbed right before hand 🥲
It’s all just part of horse ownership, whether we like it or not! We want to ensure our horses are in their best physical health possible and this is just one small part of it.

I used to do that chore too. Its just part of owning a gelding. At least he stands quietly for it.....Truthfuly, I'd be thrilled to do any of those chores because it would mean I was able to have a horse again.
What happened with the horse you did that with
@@linanxiao6958probably passed
It's not even a chore it's just a fact of life.....
I have a mini gelding, 33”, and it’s a good thing I’m short and have small hands. I can’t feel him with gloves. He gets a good cleaning twice a year and he lets me know when he’s ready because he drops and shows me, until I’m ready and then he sucks himself in. It just takes a little time and patience and unlike a lot of folks, I don’t get grossed out. I should have been a nurse. What I do know is that by giving his sheath the cleaning he needs, I’m doing what is best for him. It’s not always pretty but it is satisfying. Oh, I clip and buff my nails first. If they’re sharp to me, they’ll be sharp on him.
That's work
That’s nasty but honestly respectable not getting grossed out by ur geldings penis lol😅
Mini horses, or ponies are so cute!
They sound like the crunch bunch that I had to deal with years ago. That is why I built a barn to board my own horses. But low and behold, I was stricken with MS and ME/CFS + other autoimmune. I so admire people who know how to treat their horses. I can imagine you being nervous with the shots, I have been doing them for a while, and it does get easier.
Look into MS and parasites. Saw a thing on coroners and what they find when they do autopsies especially concerning ms
In reference to the title. Some people do. I educate all my students on sheath care, bean removal, and udder care and cleaning for mares too. Many people forget that even a maiden mare has an udder and it gets pretty dirty in between the teats.
Using warm water and sheath cleaner makes the cleaning more enjoyable for the horse and more thorough.
If you have a gelding or mare who won’t allow you to clean in those sensitive areas, having your veterinarian do it when they do their yearly or every other year teeth floating is handy since they are under some meds for relaxation.
Whenever we had to clean the sheath of one of our geldings, we would usually use warm water on a sponge and put that up there to soften any clumps. And let the irrigation wash everything out. as for the shot, you did do it perfectly. The only thing I would suggest is next time bring a bottle of alcohol to clean the injection site.
He is very comfortable with your touch, clearly this isn't the first time you have had to perform that procedure. He is scary smart and he knows this is just how it is..that occasionally this procedure is going to happen. He trusts that you are not harming him but helping him. They know..
Oh Rudnik! Today you are acting like a petulant child. Are you preparing your mama for motherhood? 😂❤😂
He was being good it was the other horse driving him away. He tried to come to her several times.
@@myhappygecko2895it’s a joke?
You can tell he is very loved and taken well care of ❤
Well done he was not too unhappy at all, with the injection, not sure what he was thinking with the sheath, he was such a good boy during both, horses don't really know about keeping healthy that's why horse owners have to do these jobs for them. How clever to stand under the sprinkler just enough not to get soaked This is why love I horses so much they surprise us all the time with their love and intelligence. Hope you are keeping well in your pregnancy Love and hugs, please give Rudnik a hug from me for being so clever and well behaved for both his treatments💖
Living in Texas I can safely say this time of year sucks. I am not doing much with my horse. I can't even imagine being pregnant at the same time.
Being on FB, it does not matter what you post, or who you are. You will get compliments to hate. I am glad I found you and look forward to more videos.
Thank you so much 🥰
He is a beautiful boy and smart getting himself hosed off in the heat!
Well you learn something every day! ❤ love how he enjoyed the sprinkler!
Impressive that the owner cares enough to set up cooling sprinklers! 👏 to property owner for caring thoughtfulness 💦 🐴
🐴 🚿
Yes even that chore would be fine to be around horses again. I am too old but I still get horsehomesick.❤❤❤❤❤
I can relate to that word horsehomesick. I fret for my old horse and dog. But Rudnick helps.❤
Maybe this is where the fraze " He's a Bean Counter " comes from ? - Lol
I learn something new with horses today. Beans oh my!👀
Great job as usual......Rudnik should be happy to have you.......😍😘
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
For educating us. Unfortunately I really didn't see what or how you did this. His belly, then your free hand/arm was in the way. Because you alerted us, we can all google "Procedural Sheah Cleaning" videos. So again, Thank You! And God Bless that farmer for setting up that sprinkler system❤🙏❤.
IT'S SWEET RESPECT THAT HE GIVES YOU ALL HIS HOOVES TO PICK EVEN BEFORE YOU ASK 🙂 MY BOY DOES TOO & HE'S HONESTLY SO WELL BEHAVED, BY THE BOOK LOL, I DON'T KNOW IF HE KNOWS HE'S A DRAFT HORSE 🤣.....I LOVE HIM TO PIECES. MY FAVORITE PLACE TO WORK WITH THEM IS IN THEIR PASTURE SPACE. ON THE GROUND IS WHERE I WORKED WITH MANY HORSES, GROOMING, JUST HANGING WITH THEM AS THEY EAT. IT BUILDS TRUST & RESPECT I COULD EASILY SEE OTHERS WHO DIDN'T GET THAT BOND. LIKELY WHY THE OTHER HORSE TRYING TO INTERVENE ON YOUR MISSION OF HALTERING HIM, THEY DEFINITELY ARE ONE STEP AHEAD IN KNOWING YOUR PLAN LOL. THAT'S ON THEIR OWNERS NOT YOU 🙂💕
Thank you so much 🥰 he really is a special boy - I love how sometimes he’ll pick all his feet up for me before I can even ask for them. I sometimes think he can read my mind!
@@rudniktheroan YA KNOW THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE ALSO....WHEN YOUR CONNECTED WITH A HORSE I ABSOLUTELY THINK THEY KNOW WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE BEFORE YOU ASK OR DO THEM!!! ON TRAIL I HAVE TOLD MY DRAFT TEDDY NOT TO WALK IN THE #2 LOL BECAUSE I GIVE HIM A MESSAGE & HOOF PICK AFTER. HE WILL WALK AROUND IT!!!! IT'S CRAZY. SO THEIR INTUITION & INTELLIGENCE SURPASSES WHAT MANY MIGHT GUESS. I COMPLETELY KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN & THEY'RE JUST REALLY BIG DOGS 🙂💕
Actually on farms dealing with stallions they wash everything before every breeding, not just the sheath
To prevent the mares from getting infected with nasty stuff 😂 Gotta care about the genital health of the mares too!
He reminds me of a 2 year old I once had. Intelli- gent with a wicked sense of humour!
You ae a braver woman than I am.... Between the shot and the sheath cleaning? Yikes!! Bless you for being such a good horse mom!
I'm immediately busting a gut 🤣reading your message about "that day of the year BOTH horse and owner loves" in your message.....with Sarcasm sprinkled over generously! 😂 What is so enjoyable for me is learning about the behind the scenes care and reasons concerning the actual medications, cleanings, and the working schedules! Way more to do than just riding and brushing! AND of course we Riders in Rudnik's Posse absolutely love the humor, bloopers, Puppy Love shenanigans with your Mr. B (Sing It Donny Osmond)😍 and just hanging out with you all! Hilarious how "Ombre" worked himself into the fold! 😅 Keep Strutting and Smiling to ALL in The Rudnik Community and MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋
Rudnik looks so pissed off the whole time but it’s okay because we love him 🙃
😂😂
I learned how to clean a sheath in my horse science class when I was in college. I have never owned a horse, though, so I haven't had an opportunity to practice.
I just adore the both of you
🥰
.. still precious! Ignore the negative comments…. seriously - some people just love to be negative and live on their keyboard in a basement.
You know what you’re doing and it’s all for the love of Rudnik! ❤❤.
This comment made me laugh in a good way!
It's all male horses not just geldings that need their sheath cleaned and checked, stallions who are not covering mares or getting collected artificially also need it done. I had to clean my stallion's sheath regularly.
I knew Rudnik was a COOL🐴Horse and he looks Beautiful while WET♥️💯‼️ You are such a Wonder-Filled Owner always taking the Best Care of Rudnik: Do Not Understand Negative Comments😮😢💯‼️ Listen, Rudnik likes Showing You Off in front of the other Horses and why he gives them a Sweet Taste of Your Kindness♥️🐎💯‼️ I hate Shots and Well, Watchin' this made me Light, Light Headed🤣😮🤩‼️Oh Mercy Rudnik, We don't know each other This Well butz I'm LEARNIN' More than Needed: No Worries, I covered my Eyez on da Private Stuff😂🤣😵💯‼️ deb in RudnikHasAnExam, SC🏇 08/02/2024❤
#RudnikIDidntSeeAThing#😂
#ILoveYouRudnik#🐎♥️😁
That’s why I have five passive aggressive and lovely mares. I’ll take the hormones over the sheath cleaning any day. In fact, I’ve never owned a stallion or gelding since I was a young and had no choice in breed or gender.
Ignore the snarky comments! Imo advice is best given when asked for.
My mare gets smegma packed between her teats and I have to constantly check that area. My gelding got inflamed one time when I hadn't cleaned his sheath, so I learned to check him more often too. Just one of the joys of horse ownership! 😊
He’s such a good boy❤ I just love him! He is my favorite choice in color for a horse. However I would like a few other choices sorrel and white paint is my second Lolsi can only wish! Glad you get to enjoy that boy. Be careful while you are pregnant❤
Good mom! ❤
I'm learning a lot about horse care. I'm probably too old to get started with horse ownership, even if I could afford one now. Hoping to at least eventually learn how to ride one.
He lives in a herd, and the leader does not wont him to leave the herd. Natural behavior, Rudinik has a conflict, between staying with the herd and leaving with you.
Oddly enough, the video that RUclips recommended to me right before yours, is about a massive landslide in central B.C. in the Chilcotin River Valley that may cause future flooding problems downstream of the natural dam that formed from the landslide. Hopefully you’re not going to be affected by that.
Best wishes to you and B and Rudnik. Stay cool! 🧊☃️
I'm here bc I got the very same two recommendations! lol I finished watching the landslide video
@@Eyes.WideOpen I find topics like that to be very interesting, even though I’m nowhere near that location. I’m here in the Detroit area.
@@ronsamborski6230 I'm in Ontario, so just across the bridge. I guess YT likely considers us in the same geographic area. I did find it ironic that we were both getting the same recommendations around the same time. I just had to mention it. Maybe I'll see you again soon! In the meantime, take good care 🤗
Oh lol I just took notice of your name. I am also of Polish decent. 😄💖
@@Eyes.WideOpen Hello neighbor! 🇺🇸🇨🇦 Stolat! 😃
I think that maybe the video recommendation could be because Rudnik, Alesia, and her fiancé are in British Columbia. Maybe the assumption is that there’s common interest in whatever is going on there.
We are safe but we do have warnings for our area because the water levels could get dangerously high in our area! Thank you for your concern 🥰
So when your animal won't come to you and you know, they know they are supposed to come to you, walk away. Go back to the stable and get the carrots out. I don't have a horse, but my dog and any other dog that gets loose just runs farther away when you chase it, but they come closer when you walk away. Now that your preggers he should come over sooner.
I did mention that he was coming to me and being chased away and I wasn’t going to walk 20 acres back to the barn in that heat 😅 He would come to me repeatedly with no problem but he was constantly being chased off by the other horse anytime he got near me (FOMO - on treats that I didn’t even have)
dam i owned horses for many years competing in three day eventing. i had never heard of cleaning a sheath before. you can usually tell when its dangling what sort of shape its in.
0:06 only 6 seconds in and i wish i live where you are 🥲
I live in San Diego where the summers get over 100 degrees 😂
I always let someone else do it so my horse won’t hate me bc he hates when people clean his Sheath😅
And that’s why I always had mares 😂, I didn’t like the idea of sheath cleaning, Ombre was a bit naughty running by you like that and chasing Rudnik away, that water spray certainly does look refreshing, I would have been under it so fast lol, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
The Clever Cowgirl is excellent at giving her horses injections and I don't think she punches them in the area beforehand.
It’s hardly punching, but when dealing with a horse who hasn’t had a ton of injection experience yet doing this will get that part of their skin used to having contact/pressure so that when the needle pokes them it’s not such a dramatic shock because you go from rubbing/patting the area to poking and it’s much less noticeable to them
It helps desensitize the area for injections. It is a good thing to do to prevent horse from over reacting which can cause a dangerous situation.
2:23 perfect timing 🤣
I also have a mini mare, 37” with a draft body, she needs to be cleaned underneath and her teets as well. Maybe it’s because she’s closer to the ground, but she gets sweaty and smegma like too. She loves getting the crud cleaned off and gives me the stretched out lips. A mare needs to be kept clean too.
Beautiful horse!!❤
You draw back to make sure there’s no blood, which means you didn’t hit a blood vessel, and HOW I WISH they’d done that with my YouKnowWhat shots because with the first one they hit something and there was like a Large grape sized lump of fluid in my arm afterwards. The pain of it endures. So I researched a bit and found we should have all had it done like you did it. Aspirating it’s called. Who’s have thought you’d remind me of that today. Well I’m currently sick with it anyway!
Yes! It’s so important to make sure you’re not hitting a vessel! I’m so sorry that happened to you!
@@rudniktheroan well fore armed (upper armed in my case!). Anything now has to go in my leg, where it won’t add to my grumbles as much, and I spelled it out so people will think of humans as well as horses! We need to look out for ourselves too!
Rudnik is such a good’ un. I love to watch. Thank you for your channel
My gelding had an infection so I had to pull him out, clean him, and apply ointment daily. Now, imagine the stable owner's teenage son comes walking into the barn with his buddies as you (20F) apply said ointment. 😱🤷♀️
I’m just an old horse ignorant grandpa, but I was worried you doing that being pregnant. Learned something new today.
Please tell me the 28 degrees is Celsius! 😳 I live in Arizona and I would die in a t-shirt in that weather if it was Fahrenheit 🤣 It’s so gorgeous there, where ever there is. Sorry for my ignorance, first video of yours I came across.❤
Haha yes sorry we are in Canada so our temp is in Celsius!
I heard about this but thought it was a joke. I never did this with my horse, I had him for 2 years only though so I think he will be fine. Ive not heard anyone in the stables doing that either. I cant believe they did this back in the day…
Unfortunately not a joke. It’s part of owning a gelding. They can develop issues if their sheaths aren’t cleaned regularly and the dirt builds up inside
It gross but in his best interest and health.
❤❤❤❤
I worked with racehorses in my younger years. Cleaning the sheath of geldings was just a given. After work and post-race. Every horse had his own sponge, just for cleaning out his sheath. However, some times you just had to put your hand in there and pull out his penis to clean it right
Not my favorite task... but I still prefer geldings 😅
I pray you will be able to get your land and not have to deal with anyone else's horses. It's a part if life for a gelding I do mine minimum ever 4weeks. Least Rudnik was quietly standing for you whilst doing shot was the needle gauge 22 or 18 and maybe Mr B can learn to clean his sheath. Good practice.
I never did it. The vet did, thankfully.
I would definitely pay the vet to do it if I could afford the call out fee for it 😂
No treats?? Bet you won't forget them! I would never own a horse/s without owning a well trained border collie or Australian Shepard to do ALL the work.
The horse/s will be brought to me, or herded into wherever.😊Got exhausted watching you walk all the way out there in THAT HEAT😖
The disadvantages of having a gelding but would rather deal with cleaning than having a stallion breaking the fence to see the mares.
Stallions who are not covering mares or getting collected artificially also need it done.
Interesting. I owned a couple of geldings in middle school and high school. I never knew to do this and none of my friends ever did as far as i know. Is it something new after about 1982? I knew stallions got cleaned.
You can also have your vet do it lol. 😅 I've owned several geldings and it would just be to much for me to do all at once so when they would have their dentals done the vet would give them a clean for me lol.
❤
Bet if ya caught & cleaned Hombre's sheath, he'll never come to ya again😂
Not sure about that. He might want it done more often, lol!
🤦♀️@@alanunderwoodsr8622
And THIS is why I own mares! 😂
Until Rudnik I’d only ever owned mares too 😂 they were definitely a lot less maintenance just way moodier 😂
@@rudniktheroan that they can be, especially if you have an Arabian! 😂
Great video, thanks for posting something that a lot of folks rarely talk about . I have a beautiful gelding and he gets what looks like warts down there on his junk, what would you recommend to help get them off or are they beans ? Many thanks
Oh I’ve never heard of that actually. The ‘beans’ is usually the dirt that becomes a hard clump inside their sheath so it may not be that - I’d honestly have a vet out to check because that’s a first I’ve heard of that
Thank you for your reply, I bought some of that Excalibur Sheath cleaning formula and it was able to take off all of those nasty things off of his junk,I;m getting over the reluctance of the cleaning now I know how bad it could have gotten down there for him thanks for your videos again
Gee what did horses those thousands of years before we " broke them" do, before we put our hands inside their privates? Both male and female horses never need us humans hands inside their privates. Nature takes care of that issue.
I have had shots given where the person stabs me OR gently gives the shot. The difference was between pain for at least a couple of days, and a bit of a sting the first day. Oh yeah, horses feel those stab shots.
I know you love Rudnik, and nothing I say will change your ways with him. But he knew your intentions, and that other horse knew too. Thats why they were keeping away from you. I know I'm going to get negative on this post from the other subscribers, but I'm calling it the way I see it. BTW, I'm not keen on "farmers " or their vets putting their hand and arms all the way inside cows neither. It's not only disrespectful to the animal, it's very very painful.
They’re also not gelded in the wild which is majority of the reason they need this cleaning done. Domesticated horses have different requirements than wild horses which is why we as owners need to ensure we are doing our best to care for them
Also... when they start making bad behaviors a game DON'T PLAY!
How can you get him to dangle?
Gotta wait till he’s relaxed mainly
What is a sheath
💀💀💀ummm its a part of both (male) equine and human anatomy
Sheath is another name for horse's penis but also old-fashioned name for condom. To avoid confusion just say penis when you mean penis.
No because it’s called a sheath - I’m going to say sheath 🙃
@@rudniktheroan Fair enough, horse culture has its own language, but explanations are sometimes needed.
Horses get hurt, but understand accidents happen, sort of like a dog. As long as you are 90% loving they can forgive. Also if other horses are vying for your attention, SEPARATE them. Be the authority figure!
Not really an option here unfortunately and it’s not my horse so it’s not up to me to be the one training/correcting behaviours
You didnt know, you have to stick your hand up in that sheath and clean it? Thats why i owned mares. That part was easier. If you dont clean it, when you trot the horse, you will hear a whomp whomp whomp.
I had only owned mares before him. I knew what had to be done but was never given full details on the extent of the process
@rudniktheroan I'm sorry. Just get a warm washcloth and a bucket of warm water and gloves. Two times a year, should be fine. It's hard to believe, a horse's testicle's, play a huge part in keeping that area clean.
I didn’t know this!,, Thats gross. 🤢
It’s an unfortunate but mandatory part of owning a gelding I’m afraid 🥲
💉🐎🍎
I typically use the tail end of my rope to spin it at the naughty horse and make them back up away from me so then I am in charge and driving the alpha horse away. So annoying. I’ve had a mare he wasn’t normally in with drive him running away from me. She would not let me catch him. Someone who knew her better got her to go away.
I did try that and he just used it as momentum to push rudnik further away unfortunately
wait is a gelding just a male horse?, also why did the title make it sound like you did something on accident and he will never trust you again? dont clickbait
A gelding us a neutered male horse
It wasn’t exactly ‘click bait’. I’m not sure I’d want anything to do with someone after they stab me in the neck and immediately begin shoving their hand up in my junk 😂
@@rudniktheroan ok but it really looked like you did something wrong, you even like added the tear emoji
