Of course, there are breeders who expect fame and income from keeping a stallion. Magnificent specimens ensure also the preservation of the breed. But there are also those private horse owners who see something bad in the castration of a stallion. In this country, the owners' environment plays a role in their attitude towards castration. If they are against castration, then they also accept that their stallions become lonely. In stable boxes or on small paddocks. A cruel price to pay for the preservation of testicles that are no longer used. Yet it is quite simple. If horses lived in the wild, they would have to fight merciless rank battles so that only the best and strongest would inherit. This is a sophisticated system that has evolved over millions of years and is essential for the survival of horses living in absolute freedom. These conditions hardly exist any more and therefore it is only logical to castrate stallions that are not needed for breeding. Then they are allowed to live in large herds in a species-appropriate way.
