Let me throw a curve ball in here. I've ridden a mare for many miles and
many of those miles was with a stallion (actually a couple different stallions).
Neigther had any issues with it. My mare would go out of heat (if she was
in) when we loaded to go to a ride (she was all business). That made it a
real pain in the butt when I decided to breed her. 

Anyway what happens if a stallion's rider is dumped and the horse is running
free during a ride. How does one train a stallion to forgo the urges when
that happens.
