Remembering back to my teenage years....some teenage boys could have done with the treatment you describe!

And not just teenage boys! I remember in my nursing days we were taught to keep some table-spoons in the icebox of the ward fridge - very handy for administering 'a tap' to bed-bound male patients who couldn't cope with the excitement of a bed-bath!

But, agree wholeheartedly with AP's advice. I am lucky in that my stallion is an absolute gent under all circumstances. He will hack out with mares, graze quietly while they are in a field just a few yards seperated from the fence of his field, and is a dream to handle covering. But I've had one or two that were NOT so good (would have made lovely geldings, I'm sure!) I'd NEVER buy another older stallion again without having the chance to handle him during covering first! Once they become agressive, randy ratbags then curing them is ALMOST impossible for all but the bravest and most expert stallion man!
