Re: RC: stallion owners/vets

[Carizima@aol.com]

I have a 10 year old stallion . We bred him at age 2 and have bred him 
lightly ever since. While he doesn't compete in Endurance he does show quite 
a bit in Dressage. I have never had a single problem with him around other 
horses. He can stand in a group , warm-up with other stallions, mares & 
geldings without any problems. He was taught early how to behave and when 
breeding behavior is ok and when it's not . You must have a ritual you go 
through when breeding that will completely different from any other . I keep 
my stallion in a large paddock ( 1 acre ) next to 2 geldings that he can 
touch through the fence if he wants . IMO keeping a stallion in as natural a 
setting as possible will keep him sane ,  strict routine and good training  
will teach him manners and make him safe.
