I worked on a Trahehner farm one summer, breeding stallions to one of those things, and let me tell you, it's just as tough on a stallion's hind legs.  They get really into it.  LOL   | 
	
 it's not impossible to collect them from the ground though...we used to collect an older morgan without him mounting the phantom...he just came into the shed took a sniff of the mare and voila.
but he is obviously the exception to the rule...in fact he is still fertile and breeding a few mares a year at 32
