Behavior cont.
Low Libido |
|
| In this movie, you will watch a stallion with low libido. These types of stallions are very frustrating for the collection team as they take a long time to collect. The stallion is easily distracted and the handler must have patience. Putting this stallion in a pen where he can watch other stallions being collected does increase his libido. Stallions with low libido often like only a few mares and may not respond to other mares even if they are in estrus. These stallions may respond better to a very specific collection schedule (same time of day, handler, collector, etc) in a barn with few distractions (extra people, mares, etc). | |
Lose Erection |
|
| The stallion from the movie above does eventually achieve an erection during teasing but loses the erection before he mounts the phantom. This behavior is a combination of low libido and handler error in allowing the stallion to mount the phantom without being sufficiently aroused. Having the estrus mare close to the phantom helps this stallion keep focus on "the job". | |
Fail to Mount Phantom |
|
| In this movie, the stallion is easy to handle while teasing but fails to mount the phantom. Retraining this stallion with an estrual mare close to the phantom may be required until the stallion is confident about mounting the phantom. We will demonstrate this training in the lab on training a stallion to the phantom. | |
