| Is there another club you can join in the area? In my area there are so few so its slim pickins, I'm not even a member of any of them because of all the drama I've overheard. Doesnt sound like it's going to be very much fun or enjoyable for you anymore if they are retaliating against you. |

Location: North Central Iowa Land of white frozen grass | I can't believe this is even an issue with someone that has been around studs your whole life. You should know better than to take him to an event with children on mares. I don't care how much you think that you know but you will not be able to control a 1,300 lb stud that wants to mount a mare in heat. Your not just playing with your life but your are playing with someones elses life if something happens. |

I believe if they don’t feel stallions are safe there then ban them across the board. I feel it’s political because I called his daughter out last year for allowing her daughter to ride her horse in dress up sandals. I feel this is retaliation. I wish you guys could see him ride. Most of the time you wouldn’t know he was a stud. The poster that said I should have been more aware is correct. I made a mistake, I that one split second. I recognize it and it’ll never happen again. But regardless if the club feels a stud shouldn’t be there than they need to make it across the board and not just me. This horse has had years of professional training and seasoning. He’s had more training I’m sure than most the horses at the club. And he’ll be gelded and it’ll be a non issue. What ****es me off is the stopping by and threatening an emergency board meeting and to ban him if I don’t.
Just curious, do you have children? |

| So i read the OPs post yesterday and all the replies. Today I went back and read it again. I have a few comments. 1. The club is absolutely within their right to ask him to not be brought back. What I missed the first read-through was that this horse is NEW to you and NEW to the club. He is 0 for 1 in their eyes by misbehaving (even for just a minute) his first trip to an event with you. 2. Please read that Stallion Attacking thread. Now whenever I see or hear someone say "You cant even tell hes a stallion" I cringe. 3. Frankly, No matter how nice he is I can't imagine you'd want the stress of the "what ifs" trying to run at playday events with a stallion. I can understand promoting a big time stud at big time events but this is a small scale deal with kids.. I would not want that on my shoulders. Just lick your wounds in private, be the bigger person and get him gelded now - since that's the plan anyway. Good luck!
