[RC] Women who ride stallions - Amber B FortThis is for women who ride stallions or handle them alot, who have gone thru a pregnacy (their own). I have noticed that since I have become pregnant, that both of my intact boys are behaving much calmer and carefull around me. My older stallion, Black Streak(now 8 years) is a high energy come out of the stall telling the world how great he is, now behaves like a 20 year old gelding. Rarely, announcing his prescence and when he does, restrains himself to one stallion whinney and calmly walks/leads to his paddock. My younger stallion, Kaysa Jerry (now 7 years) is my main riding horse, tho much more layed back, once on the trail, raring to go. He is now content to walk, restrains his once in the while spooks to a minium. Jerry has always been protective of me and thinks my place is on HIS back and no others. Now seams even more protective. I have had both of these stallions for 4 and 5 years, nothing has changed other than their growing a little older and I am now pregnant (about 11 weeks). I noticed a significant change in their behaviors when I was about 2-3 weeks and at the time was wondering WHAT was going on with them, as I didn't know I was pregnant until a week or so later. I am just curious if any other women who have gone thru a pregnacy noticed any changes in the behavior of their stallions towards them in the above mention fashion.
