your description of your horse directly contradicts that of the trainer....she's around the horse every day. You should listen to her. He's not a stallion prospect by any means and you are probably doing him a disservice by keeping him intact....that is if you actually want to see him get to the races. The longer you wait the more "difficult" he is likely to get....what she is actually telling you is that the horse is an ass.hole and has to have his ass kicked in order to get him to do his job....are you really a fan of having your horse beaten?
