As per title really.
Background...recently bought a lovely cob that had been gelded a week, had covered previously. We all decided it would be best to leave him where he was until he had fully healed, which he has and is now home. I have owned horses for over 40 years so I am fully aware of settling in times, change to routine etc, however, his stallion attitude is at fever pitch. He is turned out in a quiet paddock with a very laid back gelding that frankly just ignores him so there is no animosity there. He is all over the place to bring in, pretty much rears on the end of the lead rope, paces the fence line all day, is very vocal (and loud). To be fair to him I want to de stress him more for his benefit than mine, I just feel so sorry for him. He must be exhausted the poor chap and would like him to be able to come in and just eat and sleep.
I have been recommended Agnus Castus which I now have but wondered how long it will take until it takes effect, if any. Many thanks.
