I have asked a question about horses before and I am still clueless?
My granddaughter has just bought a horse and I take her to the yard to groom it, ride it etc.,
At the same yard, there is a beautiful stallion that is used for breeding.
Apparently, he cannot be let loose in a field with male horses because they would fight. I am told that he cannot be let loose in a field with females as the females would fight for his favours.
Consequently, this noble horse lives in a pen. The only time that he sees the outside world is when he is chosen to serve a mare. The mare is taken to a paddock and the stallion is allowed to join her.
I usually answer dog questions and I object to back yard breeders. However it would appear that stallions have a life which is much worse than stud dogs. Hells teeth, do stallion all live in a pen and only get fresh air when they are needed to serve a mare?.

Yes. My uncle raised arabians and spent more than 7 figures on one of Wayne newton's stallions. He also had a stallion bred by his own stable. They were kept in very nice box stalls with ten foot sides.
The stable stud actually climbed the wall and bred a mare he wasn't supposed to. Part of the stallions name was Sham, the unauthorized colt was 'Sham-bang' True story.

This is a matter of animal rights, which, unless the horse is being abused, according to law, there is no criminality here... Although it is morally wrong, the law cannot justify this.
