Undercover Amish Mafia Member Posts: 9992 Location: Kansas	I'm looking at a gelding, the owner has been very honest with me and said he has a hernia about an inch in size in front of his sheath. She said there is a small hole about 1/2" or 3/4" in size, I'm assuming it hasn't closed? It doesn't shy me away from the sale, but would it hurt his performance career?

Its not big enought for me to worry about but I would have it checked anyways.
