How to Clean a Horse’s Sheath | Gelding & Stallion Care

Here’s a YouTube description you can use: Sheath cleaning is one of those horse care topics that many owners avoid talking about—but it’s an important part of keeping geldings and stallions healthy and comfortable. In this video, we walk you through the basics of sheath cleaning, why it matters, and what to look for when checking your horse. We also discuss smegma, the natural buildup that can accumulate inside the sheath, and “beans”—hard accumulations of smegma that can form in the urethral diverticulum and potentially cause discomfort, irritation, or difficulty urinating. Learn how to safely inspect and clean your horse’s sheath, recognize signs that maintenance may be needed, and understand when it’s time to consult your veterinarian. Whether you’re a first-time horse owner or have cared for horses for years, this practical horse health video will help you better understand an often-overlooked aspect of equine care. #HorseCare #HorseHealth #GeldingCare #StallionCare #SheathCleaning #EquineHealth #HorseManagement #HorseOwnerTips Note: Not all horses require routine sheath cleaning, and excessive cleaning can sometimes cause irritation. Always consult your veterinarian if you have concerns about your horse’s health or comfort.
