i wish i could tell you all the things if learned about stallions from writing my term paper about "the red pony" so ill just copy the part about their temperment that i wrote.

In the book “The Red Pony” John Steinbeck writes about a Pony named Gabilan. The horse that Jody breeds his mare, Nellie with is a stallion named Sundog. Billy tells Jody that his father will not let him get a stallion because of their temperament. Stallions are male horses that have not been castrated. Stallions are very free spirited and fiery, they have a reputation for being particularly unpredictable and mischievous. Stallions tend to attempt to dominate their rider instead of letting their rider dominate them. They can’t help it, it’s their instinct.

[edit] Health section=

Dlh, you want to add a section on "health issues related to stallions? Could get pretty long, but maybe some basics on fertility, undescended testicles, a few of the usual things? Montanabw 20:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Any reason this article is in Category:Types of horses? Ealdgyth | Talk 19:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Same as mare, gelding, yearling, etc... no real place for "ways of describing horses that aren't described by breed or color." "Types" is sort of a generic catch-all category. Montanabw^(talk) 04:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
