"GIVE YOUR STALLION A LIFE!"
(Article about keeping and handling stallions)
www.scottcreek.com/Stallion_Life.htm

Articles written by people who are deeply in love with the subject-matter they write about are often some of the best. This article is no exception. The author, Joanne Ross from Scott Creek Farm is a breeder of miniature horses, but her thorough understanding of the true nature of all stallions, including the biggest and most aggressive breeds, as well as her ability to express this understanding in a clear manner, are much better than most other horse peoples'. In this great article, she summarizes the two most important things about stallions in a wonderful, short and extremely precise manner:
1.) Providing a herd environment (sufficient social contact).
2.) Pecking order and being "head broodmare" to stallions.


Temple Grandin about Stallions
(Keeping Stallins in Groups)
www.grandin.com/inc/animals.in.translation.ch4.html

Many of today's so-called "horse-people", including Monty Roberts, believe stallions are nutcases you can't handle and therefore ought to be castrated. Temple Grandin knows this isn't true and wonderfully explains why in this linked part of her book "Animals in Translation".


"Horsemanship mit Hengsten"
(German article about handling stallions)
www.grubhof.ch/pferdeartikel1.htm

A good German article in regards to content on the subject of handling stallions, written by Werner Meier, a Swiss horse breeder.


"The Keeping of Bachelor Groups for the EEP-Przewalski Horse" (German Article, PDF File)
– Stallions inside Pastures and Ranges –
www.lpv-augsburg.de/media/archive1/Beweidungsprojekt/
Przewalskipferde_Junggesellen.pdf

Detailed German article about the experiences made with keeping stallions in groups in connection with the re-settling and re-breeding of Przewalski-horses. Also mentions that false keeping of stallions in groups can lead to severe injuries and death of individual animals, but unfortunately fails to mention which mistakes were made and neither analyzes why some stallion group keepings worked without any problems whatsoever and others did not.


Roanoke A.I. Laboratories
(Semen Collection / Sexual Assistance for Stallions)
http://www.roanokeai.com

Roanoke A.I. Laboratories is one of the oldest and most trusted names in cryopreservation of stallion spermatozoa in the USA. They have internationally published some of their research and continue to be pioneers in refining semen cryopreservation and collection techniques in horses and exotic equids.
Here you will find information on subjects such as artificial insemination, semen collection from stallions and also
PDF-files of Dr. Crump's article in the Journal of Theriogenology on his method of semen collection from stallions by manual stimulation of the penis without using an artificial vagina.
Dr. Crump has proven with countless stallions how easy it is to assist stallions sexually by using nothing but your hands, even for male and female students. But Dr. Crump has not done this for the pleasure and benefit of horses. Neither has he done this as a noteworthy and perhaps useful or even relevant grooming service for horses in regards to establishing a trusting and safe relationship between stallions and their handlers which considers all the horse's needs as good as possible. Dr. Crump has only done this as an alternative means to collect semen from stallions for human financial gain and this is the only way he wants his work to be understood.
