 As someone who rode a very well behaved stallion for 18 years you must 
always pay special attention to other horses. I agree if you ride a stallion 
they need to be trained but anyone riding with ANY strange horses need to be 
careful of sudden behavior. Horses sometime react unexpectedly to other 
horses. Stallions especially have "reactions" no matter how well behaved they 
are. Just respect other horses' space at all times.
