I can't agree. Man O'War had that "look", so did Huckleberry Bey. Yes, some
people are "awed", because the animal is a Stallion, but then there are those
special individuals, as there are with mares or geldings. I don't believe
that the "special" something is just "hormones".

I also understand that a stallion may not be the best choice for an endurance
mount, but if they do it, & do it well, (as some have) - I (personal opinion)
would breed to one if endurance was what I was breeding for. Agreed though,
that the mare is the most important "half".
