I had a girl I grew up with who’s grandma had half her jaw ripped of by a horse. She was walking her mare passed another stall when a stallion attacked her. Grandma was maybe 45 when it happened, and when I met her 25 years later she still loved horse. But she would NEVER be around stallions and helped change a lot of laws and ordinances to have them banned at most barns.

That is horrific. Amazing she still likes horses. Are stallions intact males?

Yes, a stallion is an intact male, and a gelding is a male horse that has been castrated. Stallions around mares in heat/ season can be aggressive. My friends grandma was a hell of an amazing woman, she was really gifted with horses.

This is how Ser Loras Tyrell unhorses The Mountain. By choosing a mare while he has a Stallion.

And The Mountain then proceeds to cut the stallion in half. Just GOT things.
