Why do people think stallions are so unpredictable2007-11-24 21:23:21

On the other hand I have worked with stallions that little children have been able to ride, groom, saddle, and climb all over.

I honestly love working with good stallions and believe that it all depends on the horse.

Because a lot of them are! I do agree that many of them have an unfair stigma against them, but there are a lot of people who simply are not equipped or knowledgeable enough to know how to handle a stallion, especially if his hormones are in raging!

Yes I have. I own a wonderful paint stallion that I bred for and raised he is now 15yrs old and awesome to handle, ride anything. He is kind hearted and can be rode on the trail or in an arena or out working cattle with mares and he is fine. Of course I don't turn my back on him and I always know where he is when I am around and I think that is just common sense because stallions can be a little "studdy". I wouldn't trade mine for anything! He has always been wonderful to be around! During breeding season we are a little more cautious with him and thats only beause he knows what is going on and can get a little hyper and excited. But other than that he is great. I think its about how they are raised he has never been treated meanly or on the other hand babied and got away with alot so he knows that he must respect humans. We never feed him treats by hand they are put in his feed bucket. He is very well trained and is a sweet stallion.
