In a nutshell - Yes, there are many out there that are hard to deal with, but there are some very special ones out there and I am one of the lucky ones that has one. My stud SBR Formula One is as easy-going, kind, and willing as a stud could ever be. I don't mean to brag, that's not my point here, but I do mean to make it known that not every stud is nasty or hard to deal with, there are a few unique ones out there that are great to ride, handle, and be around. Nevertheless, stud ownership should be left to the experienced horse owner/breeder/raiser.
