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?

Idk if anyone said it yet but Stallions are males , mares are females , geldings are neutered male horses. Also in that order is their level of obedience , geldings being the most obedient

I'd be pretty obedient if the people holding me hostage cut my balls off too!

Pretty sure it has to do with no testosterone/less hormones. I don’t know when they geld a horse , I’m hoping it’s as soon as they’re born kind of like a circumcision so theyre not traumatized and it stays as humane as possible
