The stallion reacted angrily to her comments, and began stomping and whinnying loudly.
Jared looked at the angry stallion, and said softly, "Ya know ma'am, I think it might be a good idea just to milk him until you got enough frozen semen, and then geld him. He's a might too violent, and gelding will tame him down real fast." He nodded knowingly.
Big John suddenly stopped stomping and stared angrily at Jared, but remained calm.
"Why, Jared, it's almost like he understood you!"
"Reckon it seems that way, ma'am, but I know horses, and he seems to have calmed down. In hindsight, I'd guess a bug bit and startled him. That'd get him riled up sudden like that." He reached to a bucket nearby, and pulled out a carrot. He held the tip out for Big John, "There big fella, did a bug bite ya?"
John took a bite of the carrot.
"Hm, seems calm enough, maybe you won't have to geld him after all," Jared said with a sigh, as he patted Big John's nose.
