Of course, :), mares and geldings can be as much if not more of a problem. Frankly, I would rather be around a well behaved stallion any day than a mismanaged or bad-mannered anything else.  A caution would be to keep a well-behaved boy away from the badly behaved horses of any gender who have not been taught to keep their noses - or heels - away from strangers. All of your horses, regardless of gender, are taught "don't go near strangers, dear!"
