Imagine the inconvenience for the four owners whose mares were going to be bred to him this Spring. All that scrambling around to rebook them....

A shame.

Looks like he's in hiding, not on the roster, but they still maintain a page for him.

Got some more, albeit vague, info regarding Alumni Hall. Here's what someone said on another message board:

"Yeah, I had a mare booked to AH and Lanes End called to say that he "hasnt' adjusted to stallion life". I've had to scramble to find an alternate stallion for the mare."

Rather curious choice of words eh? Not sure that adjusting to stallion life means gaining the ability to produce sperm so is it a problem with jumping the mares? Could it be that he's borderline sterile and they're trying some things? Still like I said how does that qualify as 'adjusting to stallion life' unless they're trying to hide it.

he might be reluctant to breed, it happens. war emblem is a prime example, an extreme one as well, of a stud not wanting to do his new job.

these horses are reprimanded any time they show any studdish behavior the entire time they're in training. so he has to unlearn about four years of being told NO.
