Best Answer

All male horses are either geldings or stallions. Geldings are male horses/ponies that have been castrated, meaning they cannot breed. Stallions are horses that are not castrated and can breed. Geldings are usually more docile than Stallions that are more aggressive, they tend to act protectively over themselves and other horses (particularly mares) that could be either in their field or (in the case of mares) potential breeding partners. Stallions also become more protective, particularly in the field, if there are pregnant mares or young horses and foals.
