I have a 4 year old blue roan stallion with beautiful white/blue eyes. I would love to use him for breeding, I have a filly on the ground and a mare due in June, that was bred to him. My problem is that he is such a big attitudal jerk alot of the time. There are times when you can handle him and times when you can't; for the most part you can't. I thought it might have to do with my "cycle", and it does to a point, of course he's much worse then, but in general he's just hateful. One time you can pet him and he's a happy boy, other times he rears up and bites at me, and sometimes he's fine for a few minutes of petting, then he rears and bites. During the summer my nieces could do things with him but as summer went on he got worse instead of better. I tried putting him out with the other horses like they say you should (so they're happier) but for an hour I ran around the field with a whip because he kept biting and chasing the mare and her baby. With the baby and the mare being pregnant I couldn't take the chance that eventually they would work it out. If I geld him at four years old and since he knows what breeding is all about, will it help? I don't want to get rid of him, but I can't take the chance on one of the girls getting hurt trying to pet him because they love the horses so much and want to give equal attention to everyone. My 17 y/o stallion acts nothing like this one, of course all guys mature with age. lol
