A technique used to masturbate a male equine by use of the hands. One hand is placed around the main part of the penis, the other is placed over the glands. This simulates either an artificial
vagina or the
vagina of a female horse. Backward pressure is used on the glands and moderate forward pressure is used on the main part. The male equine will thrust forward and the handler must perform the technique in rhythm in order to achieve ejaculation correctly. This method can be used to collect semen in a container or not, which simulates an open artificial
vagina. This technique is used when a proper artificial
vagina is not available.
