Stephaniel,
Yes, there are some who do not control their stallions. We have a
stallion that you can ride next to anything and he behaves, but I have
seen out of control and loose stallions cause other people and horses a
lot of damage, including putting one young girl in the hospital. Their
is some difference between endurance rides and trail rides. Around here
I don't know of one saddle club that allows stallions. That is because
some of the people who attend trail rides do not put the time and
training into their animals as most endurance riders do. That can make a
big difference in the behavior of an stallion. I know it is not fair
that a few irresponsible horse owners ruin it for the the majority. But
unfortunatly that is the way it is. :-)
