Are geldings and stallions the same thing?

Question

ok I fell really stupid right now because I am a major horse lover and I don't think they are but my Unlce says they are so are they?

Answer 1

no a stallion is a male horse that can give a mare babies and a gelding cannot

Answer 2

They are both male horses.

Geldings are stallions who have been gelded... like neutering. They are unable to breed and have offspring. A stallion is an intact male horse.

Answer 3

No they arent.  I dont know much about horses but I know that.  I think the difference has to do wityh their private parts.  Stallions have two and geldings have one i think.  And I think geldings are neutered and cant mate.  Not totally sure but I think its something like that.

Answer 4

In gender yes they are the same thing. A gelding has had his testicles removed, so that he can not breed.
