Hi guys!
Sorry to 're awaken' this thread but I need some advice!
OK, read the thread, read the link about how to do it properly, got the warm water, gloves & sheath cleaner & got in there! Luckily for me, Pageant is about as good natured as they come and did nothing but eat hay and nuzzle my back for the whole time!
RIght- the problem, got in as far as I could- up to nearly my elbow- I have quite long forearms- couldnt seem to get in any further, but couldnt find the 'bean'! Come to that, not even sure if I found the 'dangly bit'!
Which leads me on to my next question- do all geldings 'drop' their dangly bits to the full extent at some time? The reason I ask is because in the 18 months I have had Pageant, I have never seen him do this! Without wishing to get crude, he 'drops' about 8-10 inches when he pees or is very relaxed, but this looks to me like it is just the end- one of the other geldings in the yard drops the lot-looks like about 18 inches & the crusty bits are plain to see, but Pageant doesnt seem to 'drop' lower than the smooth bit, if you know what I mean!
Sorry to be quite so descriptive, but I am a bit concerned that he isn't 'normal'!
So, how do I find the 'bean' and is his lack of 'dropped length' anything to worry about?
