stallion behavior

Question
We have a 5 year old QH stallion.  He has been very agitated and running around in the field for about 3 days.  From what we can observe, there is nothing around to threaten him, but something is bothering him.  What could the problem be?  He is in his field alone.

Answer
Hi Chris,
This is a very broad question. There are countless reasons why he could be acting in this manner ranging from he could smell a mare somewhere in the wind to "he's just a stallion". From the information you give, it is impossible to tell what is going on. I'm sorry I couldn't help you more. He has only been acting this way for "3 days". Give it a little time and see if he settles down. He probably will.
