I love my mum - more than almost everyone else on the face of the planet. I do. But if she calls or texts or emails me one more time to plead for me to allow her to use my horse as stud for her mares I am going to scream. Shadowdancer is not a stud horse. He has not been gelded that's true - the people responsible for him before didn't do it and I don't feel the need to. Part of the reason I chose him was his spirit and gelding him could change that. If he ever fathers foals it's going to be his choosing. Not mine.
