> Does anyone out there > have any suggestions on how to desensitize a stallion to mares- The best way I've ever found to do this is to put the stallion in pasture with the mares. Ideally, if you raise your stallion to be pastured with other horses - whether it's mares or geldings or even another stallion - you end up with a horse that is familiar with natural herd etiquette (AKA - the mares ARE the bosses) and behaves accordingly. I do realize that this method isn't for everyone; it is not always possible. But in my own opinion it makes for a better mindset. Dad, Mom & myself would also like to congratulate Aaron & Jane Zeeb of Turner, OR on the recent addition of Anvil's Morna and Dun Lookin' Olga to their family. The "girls" were something of a Father's Day gift FROM Aaron to his two granddaughters (and himself & wife Jane too of course). Amy Amy Evers Dun Lookin' Fjords Redmond, OR Fjord [EMAIL PROTECTED]
