Ridgling (Noun)

Meaning

A colt with undescended testicles.

Classification

Nouns denoting animals.

Examples

  • The veterinarian diagnosed the colt as a ridgling, advising the owner to have it castrated to prevent future complications.
  • A ridgling has undescended testicles, a condition that can be determined by examining the colt's scrotum or through an ultrasound test.
  • Ridglings are typically referred to as geldings after their castration surgery, as the term 'ridgling' correctly applies only to intact males.
  • Not all colts with undescended testicles are considered true ridglings, as the majority will eventually descend on their own if given time.
  • Colt owners should monitor their young males for descended testicles, as any issues may indicate a more serious condition and require medical intervention to resolve the ridgling.
