Whoooa....uh oh. If it's your opinion that the vast majority of Arabians are not "hot," please let me introduce you to a Quarter Horse.

I think it's safe to say that Arabs are more spirited than the average horse. Generalizing.

I've had stallions (as in multiple) for over 30 years. Maybe I've just been very very lucky but I've never had problems with them. I currently have just under 40 acres divided roughly in half by a state highway. The stallions, ungelded youngsters and geldings all run in a bachelor herd on one side of the road (there are 9 horses in that group) and the mares and fillies and one stallion (in his own pen next to the mares' pasture) live on the other. I am the boss mare here and all know it....usually a "look" or a pointed finger and a little bit of a "growl" from me is all it takes to change an attitude or stop something. I've had Arab, POA, QH and Paint stallions (the Paints and QH's from cutting/reining/reined cowhorse lines) and haven't found any to be especially "hot" (with one exception...a mishandled pure Polish stallion that was scared to death he was going to get chain whipped ...took a year to get his head sort of straight but he never tried to hurt anyone...just to get away). I've found that for youngsters having some breeding experience actually seems to help their behavior.....they learn that there is one place and time and set of circumstances under which stallion behavior is allowed....and that everywhere else he has to behave....kind of like giving a teen boy permission to "misbehave" at one time/place lets him be more focused and less wild at others....provides an outlet for all that energy.

Why not geld him rather then leave him stud to be frustrated at times. He would have a better life.

depending on his age, it wont matter. A Stallion over the age of 5 will most likely continue to act like a stalion even after he is incapable of breeding. This includes mounting your mares. I've seen it.
