I agree with the writer. Most stallions should be gelded. Especially ones kept for pleasure. There’s no sense into keeping a horse for breeding if he’s got some genetic faults. In fact it’s doing everyone a favor to help strengthen the genetic pool and to keep the horse population down.
I’m glad Reagan was gelded. He’s such a patient horse, but I think his calm demeanor is from being gelded.

Kudos to you! He is a nice gelding and I am sure a wonderful companion. We need to be responsible and stop overbreeding. Too many good horses meet a terrible fate due to overbreeding. He reminds me of my Paint. Mellow and a great pet and pleasure horse, but for a Dash for Cash baby she surprisingly would rather walk than break a sweat!

THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS. AS ALWAYS, I LOVE TO READ THEM!
I AGREE THAT THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY HORSES (AND DOGS AND KITTIES) OUT THERE THAT ARE BRED WITHOUT ANY FORETHOUGHT. THERE SIMPLY ISN’T ENOUGH HOMES FOR EVEN THE BEST, MOST PERFECT SPECIMENS, LET ALONE THOSE THAT HAVE SOME KIND OF CONFORMATION, MOVEMENT OR BEHAVIORAL FAULT.
AS FOR DANNY’S BLOODLINES: HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY ‘IMPRESSIVE’ IN HIS BLOODLINES. WITH HIS SIZE, I THOUGHT FOR SURE HE’D HAVE A LOT OF THOROUGHBRED SOMEWHERE, BUT IT’S ALL QUARTER HORSE AND PAINT LINES. ALTHOUGH THE WAY HE’S BUILT, AND WITH HIS HIGH TAIL SET AND LONG ARCHED NECK, I’M CONVINCED THERE WAS EITHER A SADDLEBRED OR FOXTROTTER WAAAAAY BACK THERE IN SOMEONE’S PASTURE… IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

I’m with you. There are far too many horses in the world and many of them are neglected and starved because people cannot afford the ones they do have. I’ve vowed never to breed our two mares. There are too many horses that need good homes and when the time comes to get another horse I will be looking for one that needs a good home.

Does he have impressive bloodlines. Just wondering because hes big for a paint horse and that can be a problem for him later(not being big haha).

as my mother often says – “That one needs to be OUT of the gene pool!” Your boy sounds like a sweetie, but with all the greats out there, wow. But its so true – my neighbor has two black overo studs, with no papers! I wish people had more sense.

AWESOME! There are far, far, FAR too many “stallions” that would be better off — and happier! — being geldings. Same with dogs.
Men need to check their egos at the door when it comes to four-footed animals.

I was told of a lady who refused to geld her horses because she prefered the way a stallions neck looked. What a reason to leave a colt intact huh.
