Well I have to agree, I own a stallion and he is 100% hormones but knows his place. He is my 3rd stallion and i have learned so much after making so many mistakes with the first two. I have been so lucky to have other careing stallion owners to jump in and help me learn the thing I need to learn.
So My first advise would be if in dought seek a stallion handler close by to help. Handling a stallion is not a game! it can be very rewarding adn very dangerouse if you do not know what you are doing.
The stallion I have now I have had sence he was 3 months old and from day one I have treated him with respect, and let him know I am the alpha mare.
If you star them out from day one it's not so hard but if you say ok today we start training your infor a ride.
You ask when? well it depends on were your relationship is with your stallion.
If you have started him of right from the beginning with training cews and a breeding rutien then you shouldn't have a proublem, but if he is already breeding age and your just now begining then it's a differnat story all together. To much to get into without knowing more about you and your stallion but if you'd like to email me privot I can try to help and guied you. jcpaintedacres@yahoo.com mention horse chitchat
