Re: [RC] Stallion question - Maggie Mieske

We keep our stallion with bred mares, during foaling and after foaling, only
taking them out during heat cycles.  We try to keep him with at least one
bred mare all year....he is happier that way and a much better horse for it.
He is also next to the rest of the herd.  We also kept a young one in with
all of the other horses....he never showed interest in the mares and acted
totally mystified even when a mare backed up into his face.  The following
year, though we had NEVER seen him exhibit ANY breeding kinds of
behavior...we had three foals by him.  So, unless that is something you want
to happen, take precautions now!  :)
