stallion

A stallion is an uncastrated adult male horse. Unlike geldings (castrated males) or geldings (castrated males), stallions typically exhibit strong reproductive instincts and physical characteristics such as a muscular build and a flowing mane. They are often used for breeding purposes to produce foals, and may also participate in competitive equine events. Stallions require experienced handling due to their strength and temperament, which can include aggressive or dominant behaviors. Their primary role in the horse industry is breeding, contributing to the continuation and improvement of horse bloodlines.
