From my post a few years ago when we first realized he was missing “it”. Please ignore my text type grammar, I just went thru and tried to fix all my mistakes and I try to watch how horrible my fat thumbs type on here these days.
He was born full term to a welsh proven stallion and my mare who was for simplicity’s sake, a mutt. An amazing 14.2 chestnut jumper, easy going, great temperament mutt. She’s my profile pic. He came out the size of a springer spaniel, had to milk my mare the first 24 hrs, couldn’t stand, couldn’t nurse, had to be bottle fed. The next day took him and mare to the vets, mare drugged out of her mind and him wrapped in towels in the front seat on my lap. Started nursing when he got to the vets, mainly due to mare being drugged n standing still for once. Lived in a stall first 6 months of his life because his legs were so tiny, think put two fingers next to each other, if he slipped or anything they would have snapped. He had to have straw bc shavings gave him eye ulcers, looking back he also was treated for stomach ulcers I believe from lack of enough milk the first day or so of his life. He had to have braces on his legs, he still cannot be rode because his back fetlock rotates inward when he walks, the entire joint is formed oddly it seems. That hoof grows dished and his frogs have no sulcus, they’re one piece. (If he bucked or anything and snapped the joint, that would be the end of him.)
Fast forward, lives life in the field, gets shots, farrier, worming, ground manners, that’s it. Gains n loses weight when I pulled him onto stall board and muzzled him. Brought him home this yr (2019) in October. Field till about 8pm, in till 6am, back out, stall spotless daily. Drylotted now that the weathers turned n the fields are wet.
Noticed him dribbling pee and that he never actually drops it out to pee, the few times I’ve done more than just rinse him out w a hose, I’ve had to go elbow deep to get to what I thought was his penis, and it was the size of maybe my finger.
He had some funky discharge n just grossness the other day. Hence vet visit today. Vet sedates, can’t find penis, goes deeper, pulls out sheath, or technically inner sheath, it had almost a membrane over it, still no penis.
Vet gives him Lasix to make him pee while he is there to see if anything drops out, he pees, all over his sheath and it sprays out, hence the dribbling apparently. Still no penis. Vet goes in again, pulls inner sheath out, can barely get his finger in the opening, finds a walnut sized what must be his urethra, still no penis.
Asks me how long I’ve had him, was he gelded, did I physically see his testicles removed (yes, super small, fed to the barn dogs I think) and if he exhibits any mare like behavior, (no, total a hole gelding pony) and proceeds to lift his tail to make sure he doesn’t have any other tiny “slits” for lack of better terminology, under his anal opening. He doesn’t…
So all said and done, my pony never developed an actual penis, it must have been part of his birth and dwarfism as we fondly called them, growing issues. Nothing skin wise grew or formed around or over his urethra, no skin, nothing to drop out or even protrude an inch!! Nothing to clean smegma off of, nothing to get a bean stuck in at all. Just a walnut sized urethra, and a sheath that he gets pee all over. No issues till now.
