I remember one time talking with a vet (who has become our head vet for 
Swanton Pacific).  He had a stallion in his vet barn for an obscure facial 
paralysis (1/2 of the face was paralyzed, the other half was OK.).  I said, 
"What an awful looking horse (poor quality, not just because of the face).  I 
couldn't imagine why anyone would keep him a stallion."  The vet, who has a 
great sense of humor said, "Why not?  The horse wouldn't have made a good 
gelding so the owners might as well leave him a stallion!"  I loved his 
response.
