The problem wasn't the horses owner(Scott) but the property owner.  His parents own the land and demanded the horse be gelded. He was working and wasn't here to chase him down all the time and his father took too many short cuts when the fence for his pasture was built.  That boy figured out he could walk right through that barbed wire fence with out even a cut. He figured out how to short the electric fence.  He was too smart for his own good.  The really bad part was that a stallion that is NOT registerable was allowed to remain in tact and has sired foals, but they wont demand the same for him.  I want to move my horses elsewhere, but cannot afford to. I am looking just in case I get lucky.

Sometimes it is really hard to accept someone else has the authority to make decisions over-riding our wishes. I am at a boarding facility with about 15 horses that are all owned by different people. Now and then someone won't be caring for a horse in a way that I think they should and there is nothing I can do. No matter how much I care, even if I care more then the owner, I'm not the owner and I can't control what they do. Sometimes that is really hard to swallow. I'm not talking about real abuse or anything, that's another issue.

He took the breeding program into his own 4 hooves and he was fruitful and multiplied.  I hate that he was gelded.  Now that I am active in the breed association I could have marketed his services.  My in-laws demanded my boyfriend allow them to geld him. They were tired of chasing him all over the place.
