Hi, I made some tweaks and added a little bit of material to this page. I hope it makes it better. It's tricky to address controversies without getting someone upset on one side or the other, but I hope what I added is sufficiently balanced and NPOV. Montanabw 20:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Huh?
editNowhere does the article seem to explain what "Crabbet Arabian Stud" means. A stud is a male breeding horse. What does it mean that the stud was "established"? —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:07, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- LOL! Aside from that being what the Blunts themselves called the place, a "stud" or "stud farm" is a place that keeps male animals for breeding, you hear the term more in UK English than US English. A male breeding horse is a stallion, "stud" is an informal colloquialism for the same, a shortened form of "stud horse." The terms "stud" and "at stud" are also used to describe male animals of other species that are offered for breeding, such as dogs. (example here). I like to joke that a "stud" is a 2 x 4! But seriously, see stud farm, stud (animal), or the verb form "at stud." Montanabw(talk) 05:19, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe it's US usage, but I'd thought a stallion is a male horse that isn't a gelding, whether or not it's been put out to stud. Oh, well. Thanks for the info! —Largo Plazo (talk) 05:38, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, a stallion is an adult male horse that hasn't been gelded, correct. The colloquialism of "stud" as a noun, however, gets used whether the male horse has actually been used for breeding or not...you hear people sometimes refer to even an unweaned male foal as a "stud colt." (which is redundant because colts are males, but never mind that...) For mature stallions, you will hear people call them a stallion, a stud, and a "stud horse." An archaic use of the word "horse" itself was once used to refer to the male of the species, and occasionally still pops up here and there, i.e. "stud horse," "horse colt," etc. (and, interestingly the old-timers will say that a mare in heat is "horsing.") Your comments suggest some additions we need to add to the glossary of equestrian terms, too. Montanabw(talk) 03:20, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
