True in every way,I castrated a stallion he was almost 3. Kept him in a pen for about 30 days that gives the sperm about enfough time to die off,that is still in the stallion,and then turned him out with the other horses. They were good at teaching him how to be just a horse. He became relaxed and enjoyed the horse life.After about 60 days I started his training and then sold him. He was really an aswome horse. but I never saw the stallion attitude, I suppose the other horses kept him in line where that was concerned.
