Hello
I don't know much about stallions and the risk of having one on a normal livery yard as never had to deal with it, hence post.
I am on a livery yard and a couple have bought a 2yo gypsy cob. When the posy turned up onto yard it was noticed the little chap was still in possession of a fine pair! When the yard owner asked why it wasn't gelded they asked what gelded meant!!!!! Neither of them have ever been near a horse, just fancied one and learning to ride!!! The yo has put him in a stable and is arranging the vet to come and sort early next week.
My concern is that there are 2 mares on the yard, my shetland, and a TB mare. At 2 yrs, have any 'urges' kicked in yet? Could he pose a threat? My big old 17.1 Hanoverian has previously been tested for being a rig, and has previously booted the hell out of a dominant gelding who got too close to his mare (hasn't done this for years though) So I am also concerned about the 2 of them crossing paths.
Any advice greatly appreciated
