The gelding I leased as a kid was very proud, protective and NOT clingy. Maybe it was because he was a stud until he was 10. Ive met some proud, independent, protective geldings that were gelded at 1 or 2, but they seem to be in the minority. If thats not what you want, thats fine. I personally like those kinds of personalities.
