unfortyunately for him, lives with mares and isn't allowed to stand any of
them because he has a hung up testicle. So yes he's a intact male, it helps
him stay in better natural shape and racing is easier then if he were gelded,
but he has yet to actually jump on anything other then his favorite John mule
here at home, who's teaching him how to be extremely timid about it!
LOL
If he's never going to be able to breed anything (is that what a "hung up"
testicle means?) why on Earth would you put him through the frustrating Hell of
being a stallion without a love life? Is there scientific proof that a
stallion is easier to condition, stays in shape longer, etc.? Heidi,
anybody? This is a new one. Even if this is true, give me a good
gelding any day of the week....unless said stallion has impeccable
bloodlines AND manners :))
