Location: Hill Country of TEXAS!! | Id add slick HOT WIRE to your fencing. Top, middle and bottom rows so he gets LIT when he tries going through your fence again.. Call your vet and ask which way is best. Shot now or pinch later.. I also agree with sending her ALL your vet bills for that and the geldings cuts from the incident. Best of luck!!

| The stud is just going to get worse, you will need to figure out what is more important, your animals or your friendship.
You can also try marbling your mare so she doesn't come into heat. |

| Most states are fence out laws. Meaning it's up to YOU to fence someone else's animal out of your property. You need it figure out what your specific state says about it. More than likely, the neighbor will not be responsible for the bills. I agree with running hot wire and lighting him up. |

That is incorrect. You are responsible ONLY if your fence is "insufficient", which they define. Otherwise it is a class c misdemeanor. And there are other issues of liability with owning a stud, not because of breeding other animals but beating them up and potentially causing harm, which studs of any size are capable of. Owning a stallion is a bit like owning a pit bull. They can make great animals but they are a major liability and you had better be prepared to take care or things. If you are friends, ask her nicely to cover the vet expenses and build stronger fence. Yes prepare on your end but you should be able to let your horses out without worrying so much. And some horses will go through hot wire, not many, but a few for a mare. If its at all possible, he needs his own PIPE pen. Part of owning a stallion is being responsible with him. This NEVER should have happened. |

Location: Gainesville, TX | If they don't pay, then contact your sheriff or animal control. Remember if your son is going over there to play this animal could be an issue. Stallions have MEGA strength in their jaws, big cheeks right, and have been known to bite hard enough to crush a skull or break bones. If he is not well maintained, you may be looking at an ER visit way more costly than some cuts and one shot. |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | We are good friends with both of our neighbors. 2 year old Clydesdale stud got in with my mare a few too many times. I called animal control the last time and she had to pick him up from animal services. Sheriff also visited her and informed her that the bill for all of my mare's care would be sent to her. This would make the third time Seriff had to come out and inform her to keep her stud home.
She threw a fit and said it was our fault for leaving a mare in heat in the pasture. The sheriff laughed in her face and said she can either keep him penned up or the next time animal services comes to get him they will geld him.
Never had a problem since, Neighbor lady is overly nice now. |
