If he's a rig he wouldn't be able to "suck" one up. If he hasn't got two testicles present he can't be licensed. If he's young then the other one may drop.

If he had two then it might be the case that one has developed more than the other rather than it disappearing completely, so it may just be a question of waiting to see what happens. How old is he? I have heard of them not being ready to license until they are 3yo - they do have to have two properly descended and equal sized testicles to pass the licensing examination. On the other hand, if it doesn't descend/develop properly and he only ever has one then he would not be able to be licensed.

My 5 month old colt is playing hide and seek with his testicles just now - sometimes they are both there, sometimes one and sometimes you can't see any. I checked with the vet yesterday and she said it was quite normal for them to come and go a bit......but not sure about a yearling.
