Stallion Fencing

[bandit]

Hi

further to my rant in Soapbox, I wondered if there is any law or regulation about the fencing needed for a Stallion? It's not being used for stud, however it knows what it's 'thing' is for, and therefore calling to the mares and winding them up.

thanks

Where I live over here in the "Wild West", apparently there is a Bylaw whereby stallions fields have to be 2 gates away from a public road. Apart from that, no there are no regulations on how they are kept.

What I found was that my stallion was not the trouble-maker; it was all the tarty mares who were the problem!

this one goes running round the field calling to the mares, who have hteir noses in thier dinner / haynets etc. so not sure about it being my mare. she's not tarty normally...

Bugger is there?!

Zeus's field is right on the side of the road, OK unpaved very rural concession, but still a public road. Stock fenced and post and railed, and there is hot wire around it too!
I haven't got a single field that is two gates away from the road.

I doubt this will be a law everywhere in Ontario, but it is in my Municipality. Best check just to make sure you don't get into trouble.
