Mike, isnt that sad... poor horses. They must live a pretty frustrated life. I am gelding my Miniature stallion because we are down to breeding only one or two mares a year and I feel that is not worth putting the poor guy through "near" solitary- confinement the rest of the year. He will be much happier out running with the rest of them in the field. BTW, he is 9 years old and has sired 15 wonderful foals for us in the past... so it has nothing to do with his ability to sire NICE foals. Just a slowing in the market and our breeding program.
