Jinnifer,
Very true!  I was taught about stallions by my friend Donna, who owned 
the breeding farm where my gelding was bred and where I boarded for 
about 20 years.  The stallions there are all kept where they can touch 
and socialize with other horses.  They are taught that there's a time 
and a place for breeding and certain equipment used for that and that's 
all.  
The stallions know when we bring them in from their field if there are 
mares nearby they can strut and puff themselves up, but that's it.  The 
biggest problem is one who was an orphan, and that's because we did all 
the things you're not supposed to do with orphans so he's spoiled 
rotten.  But yet when he's brought out to breed he's a perfect 
gentleman, because he's never been given the choice of doing anything 
else.  If one of the stallions gets stupid, they get put away to think 
about it!  
My gelding's sire, Abi-Khan+,  could be ridden with, trailered with, and 
tied next to other horses without incident.  He'd ponied horses in who 
were acting stupid or had tack failure.  He was used some for lessons.
To Deanna, Jinnifer, Jon and whoever else I know who's going to Hopkins 
Creek, good luck!  Give Jeanie a hug for me; she'll take good care of 
you.  And she can also tell you about Donna's threats to Abi-Khan+ if he 
didn't behave...  

Mickie (OH) -- supposed to be going to a CTR this weekend but if it's as 
sloppy there as it is here may decide to stay home.
