Step 1
Prepare yourself for the commitment, time and discipline a stallion demands. Stallions are like children: if you don't spend time with them, they misbehave. As with all animal training, it is the owner who gets the training on how to take care for the animal properly.
-
Step 2
Take the stable time seriously. The stallion is a lonely creature and isolation is a large part of his life. Human contact is the only stimulation he may receive. Care for the stallion yourself, bringing him treats and taking him out regularly. Animals get depressed just like people when they are lonely.

Step 3
Decide if you own a proper barn to board a stallion. Separation of a cycling mare and a stallion is a crucial part of the barn's floor plan. Injury can occur to both horses if separation is not adequate. Remember the stallion knows a mare is in heat because of smell.

Step 4
Start right at the very birth of the stallion to teach him who is the boss. Discipline is an educational experience for you and the colt. It will make your relationship with your stallion more rewarding for both of you. You will learn something new with every stallion you handle.

Step 5
Protect the people around your stabled stallion. Some people are afraid of the excitability of a stallion. If you have trained your stallion to behave, no one has to fear him. Correction in behavior as a colt needs to start immediately. What is cute as a colt is not so cute when they are older.
