Lined out to break horse, lacking cojones! (7)

I believe the answer is:

gelding

'horse lacking cojones' is the definition.
(castrated horse - cojones can mean testicles)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Another definition for gelding that I've seen is " Castrated male horse".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
