RE: [SPAM] [RC] Stallion question - heidiI've noticed a lot of people refer to keeping their stallions by themselves and I'm just curious why they do. Mine is 3 now and has been in with everybody else since I got him. The herd consists of 2 mares, him and 4 geldings. He's not at all agressive with the horses or people and seems super happy to be in there. I guess I'm just wondering if I just got real lucky with his temperment. I certainly DON'T prefer it--but with 12 stallions, it is pretty tough to have a safe pasture situation for each one. Mine run together as youngsters, and most of them have experienced pasture life at some time or another, but the reality of multiple stallions is that it is just too land-intensive and fence-intensive to provide each and every one with the life I'd prefer them to have. Most do live right through the fence from somebody, so they do still have a social life--nobody is "isolated."
