[RC] Stallions - Libby & Quentin LlopWe do commercial
carriage work and for seven years our wedding pair was a Thoroughbred stallion
and mare. They were by the same sire and quite well matched, getting them to
drive together was not much problem, but they had to ride in the same
compartment of the stock trailer. The carriage went in the other compartment. In
the beginning we loaded him first (he would be unlikely to kick her), with a
muzzle on so they wouldn't play bitey games and Drove. After a few years we
could hang a hay net between them and go out to dinner on the way home from a
wedding. The best times were when she was in heat , because they would stand
quietly anywhere. The worst were when she was out and got witchy (kicked over
the pole once) if he even glanced at her. BTW he sired 67 foals.
