Hi! I am a gelding, enjoying life the way I am now. But there are times when I sit back and think of my past and feel a little depressed. It was not long ago when I used to be a stallion with all the grace and attitude of being a powerful horse. I commanded special attention with my owner keeping two to three people to handle and take care of me. People used to fear me and never used to come close to me. They had to think twice before mounting me for a ride. And I kind of enjoyed being the rough and tough as I was. Then my owner decided to get me castrated and life changed.

Earlier, I used to feel an inferiority complex while being with other stallions. I missed not having kids and also less confident as I didn't feel as powerful as the stallions. I had thought that my world had fallen apart and I had nothing left in life. But then after some time I started settling into my new self and now am leading a very content and happy life. Now I realize what was I missing while being a stallion.

I feel that after being transformed into a gelding I have stepped into a new and better life. People, and especially kids, who used to stay away from me when I was a stallion, are more friendly to me. They don't fear me, in fact they are more at ease being with me. The kids touch me and play with me and they even feed me with apples and carrots, which I absolutely love. But there are still a few who still think that I am a stallion but when they get to know me a little better, they start considering me as their family member. And speaking of all the mares who kept a distance from me when I was a stallion are also a lot at ease while being with me -- now they don't have to fear me for anything! I have become very popular in my stable too because now a lot of mares like to be in my company. I love my new role, as now I have many friends. I love children and when I am with them, I don't miss having my own kids as I consider them my own.

Seeing me in my new role, my former fellow-stallions, I am sure, feel they are missing out on a lot of goodies. With all the attention, love, affection and care I enjoy from all the people, kids and the mares around, I think they feel a bit jealous. I am sure they would gladly give up on being a stallion for all this love, affection and friendship. My only advice to them would be: 'Hey mates, be patient and wait for your turns'.
