Re: RC: stallion owners/vets

That is one of the  cruelest things I have ever heard of and it's
nonsense. It's a good way to ruin your stallion in my opinion. BTW I own
a number of stallions and they behave perfectly fine no matter what we
do. It's a matter of training in most cases.Not to bash anyone, but ask
your chiropractor of the whereabouts of the study verifying this increase
in testosterone. I would love to read it.  
Good luck training your young colt. THey can be very rewarding to deal
with when you bond with one.
