I am really not sure what you are upset with me for. Or if you actually are. I don't remember ever making any "Unfavorable Comments" about geldings. Unless saying that more of the less than perfect stallions around should be geldings was taken as an "Unfavorable Comment". I am a big PROmoter of geldings. Geldings get used more than most stallions ever would for showing in open or non breed shows or demonstrations. They are like someone else said free of the testosterone & PMS problems and are normally level headed great using horses. I never could understand the European system of sending the stallions that don't pass muster at the evaluations to someone's dinner table. Geldings are probably the best advertisements the Fjord world can get. If I missed your whole point I am sorry please explain more then. I think they all have their place Stallions, mares & geldings. We have lots of room for more of all of them in this huge country of ours. Getting them out and seen by other people is the key to selling more of them.
