Re: Owning / handling / managing Stallions
|
Firstly welcome to the forums..
I would agree completely with Partoow and Cruiseline. We have stallions (as we are a stud) and where possible we treat them like any other horse (so they dont think they are special in any way), and we are always 200% careful with them and NEVER take anything for granted, because as soon as you let your guard down that is when something happens.
We are maybe slightly different in the fact that we have stabled our stallions next to the mares (during the winter) and are also in fields next to them (during the summer), and have never had any problems with this. As we have had our boys from foals and they have grown up in this manner it is nothing out of the ordinary for them.
They all have different personalities both inside and outside the stable, as well as under saddle, and when handling them you have to remember that.
