Out of all the horses I have ever trained, I have never known a black stallion to be more temperamental than a bay stallion... I have actually never seen color to effect temperament. Just throwing that out there...
“This stallion is standing absolutely perfectly” I don’t know if he’s champing incessantly at the bit, (in which case he may not be entirely comfortable with that particular bit) or if he’s just being encouraged to chew and mouth by having the end of the reins/lead rope flipped at his lips constantly, but either way, he’s not standing perfectly. Stallions are generally much more mouthy than geldings (ours even has his own specific rope chew toys, like a dog lol). But because of this naturally instinctive behaviour, they are much more susceptible to picking up minor negative habits (as displayed with this horse) through insufficient handling. I don’t at all mean “bad” handling, not by any stretch. He is obviously a perfectly civil animal. However, it is basic etiquette to teach any horse to be able to stand quietly, regardless of it’s hormones or chromosomes, which this horse seems to be struggling to do by the looks of this clip. Edit: temperament of horse has absolutely NOTHING to do with colour; proper archaic superstition right there 😂
He is standing very well, not leaning forward, pawing stepping forwards or shuffling. Horses can have oral fixations, especially if they’re teething and some horses have been known to chew ropes to help comfort themselves with pain
The stallion at my work that I handle and ride always plays with my jacket when i'm wearing one, but does occasionally grab skin and it's exactly what she says. We he knew he got skin he ran into the corner of his stable.
My stallion behaves like a gelding, he literally has no stallion manners. Surely he whinnies something after other horses sometimes or gets a pretty neck when he sees a mare he likes but nothing more. People should stop picturing stallions as hormonal monsters. If you don't train them properly, of course they can be difficult and not every horse should be a stallion, if you look at the character. While my fjord is so calm and sweet he can be lead and ridden by children I know another Andalusian stallion who knows he is a man and behaves like that. The key in handling stallions isn't to control them. It's treating them like all the other horses. Be relaxed, not tense, and be sure of what you want. They aren't monsters, sometimes the hormones just kick in.
@@ambrawoodhaven1067 wow, good point. It would not be necessary if she had a less nervous and unclear body language... just because it‘s a stallion you don‘t need to chain it up

I'd love to exchange emails with you, I have my first colt and would love to hear more of your experiences.
Oh dear….another green owner.
my stallion has never bitten, just sayin
Can someone answer this question the old phrase never turn your back on a STALLION is it just out of respect or what is the reason.
Okay seriously that tb looks identical to my ottb. They even have the same personality from what i can see... Holy cow
thoroughbred... i knew it
Most of the things she says is absolut bs
the bit and chain around it...this woman has no clue how to lead a stallion...this is animal cruelty
its litterally just for extra control?
@@ambrawoodhaven1067 to me it looks like she's just doing it because she's afraid
@@joker-sz9cc no
