Answer
You are right Ingred, you do need help, but not what I can give you in an email.  A stud does not have a bad attitude, he is a stud horse acting like a stud horse.  In the wild he is king, it takes very good handling and some horse knowledge to handle a stud.  You are going to get hurt if you don't get someone who understand horses to handle this guy.  Why do have a stud?  Why don't you geld him?  Some cowboy is going to tell you to get a stud chain or tell you to beat him, that is wrong.  If you don't understand why this horse is doing what he is doing, then you really should not have a stud.  He is going to hurt someone or you and then everyone will be blaming him for being a bad horse, just like you are blaming him for having a bad attitude.  This horse is just a stud acting like a stud.

You are in a dangerous situation, so I would really urge you to geld this guy and save both of you a lot of grief.
