There was a time not all that long ago when I was dreaming of owning my very own stallion and hence start my own stud but having had no experience with stallions I was soon talked out of the idea. I was told that stallions are hard to control, can turn at the drop of a hat from being merry to being furious and can sometimes attempt to kill you, they go through fences, etc etc.

I was curious as to your thoughts about the keeping of stallions - are they an impossibility for someone that has never dealt with a stallion before?
