[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 913512, member: 852"] Sounds like the issue is training rather than hormones. I've been around and ridden some studs that were really nice to handle. Having testicles is not a valid excuse for any horse to misbehave. If he's a cryptorchid or part of the epididymus was not removed, surgery can be done... will probably cost you more than the horse is worth ($300 easily) but a cryptorchid can definitely be gelded. I had a colt like that done over Christmas break. I'd pass on the horse unless you really like a challenge and know you're a good enough horseman to make a decent horse out of him. On a side note- I've seen quite a few horses upset about being ridden bareback (especially if they've never been ridden bareback before!) and I wouldn't consider a horse a problem because of it.
