- Sure, if he is a great colt and what you want, take him and get him gelded
- as soon as possible. BTW, there are really just too many Arab stallions
- around. Too many people bought into the 'black stallion' syndrome and think
- that all they have to do is get an Arabian stallion and they will be able
- to breed it and make big bucks. Nothing could be further from the truth.
-
- A yearling colt generally doesn't even know he is a stallion yet, they are
- still babies, especially Arabs which mature very slowly. Don't expect a
- big horse, an Arab that age usually isn't very big. In fact, my mare at
- that age still looked like a weanling.
