GELDING BY THE FULL MOON
QUESTION: My way older horse
friend who I admire a lot says to geld my horse under the
light of a FULL MOON? Does this really make a difference? Need
to know soon? He really doesn’t give any details, just keeps
saying it?
ANSWER: In the Good Old Days,
people would plant their gardens under the light of a full
moon, believing the vegetables would grow better .
No Scientific Proof Of This. In the Good Old Days, people
would butcher their beef or pig at home under the light of a
full moon, believing the meat would be more tender. No
Scientific Proof Of This. In the Good Old Days, people would
geld their horses under the light of a full moon, believing
they would not swell up as bad. No Scientific Proof Of This.
Basically simply "Old Wives Tales",
handed down through the generations. Once again, no scientific
proof was ever found to warrant doing so. And since I am an
Old Fogey, I tried it in years gone by and it makes no
difference at all…………
