My horse was "accused" of being proud cut. I talked to a number of people about it and got a variety of answers. Hard one to get a straight answer on. I guess it helps when they geld them standing up because everything drops down and it makes it easier to get it all. I have seen a gelding and it seems like it would be pretty easy to not leave anything behind.

My "proud cut" gelding was gelded standing up at age 2. Never bred before gelding. However, he is very studdy and very aggressive with other horses. I actually wish it was as simple as having him gelded. It would make my life a little easier.......

I believe that my horse has been fully gelded but that he has social issues.

Standing up? Do some vets do that? I've never known a vet who didn't knock 'em out for the procedure.

As for the original question. I've known people who have sworn that they knew "proud cut" geldings. And I suppose it could be possible (like if it were a awfully terrible vet, who was also drunk and stoned). But I would think that it would be highly unlikely. Unless it were done intentionally, as lookatmesmile suggested, I guess (btw, WTF?! People really do that?!)
