If he is otherwise well mannered, you can rub some Vick's Vapo Rub on the inside of his nostrils (not on the pink part, just the fuzzy part). This will keep him from smelling any mares that are in the area. You can also use "fuzzies" on your bridle to keep his field of vision limited.

It all comes down to good training and breeding procedures (I assume he is still a stud because you are using him for breeding purposes). If he is not being used to breed mares geld him, other than having him sire offspring stallions are of no practical use in today's society.
Yes Vicks Vapor rub will keep him from smelling mares.
In addition to that you need to make sure you breed him in a specific location with gear that is different from the halter and lead that you will use to take him places where he will not be used for breeding.
Honestly studs are known for being more unpredictable than mares and geldings, not to mention more dangerous. Even if you can keep him in check if he were to get loose he could seriously hurt someone-such as a small child on a mare in season.

I would put vicks on his nose so he cant smell anything. But if it gets bad enough where he is getting dangerous for you, or could get out of control and try to mount a mare (wich could really injure someone) look into retirement for him, or geld him. To me, there is nothing better than a good gelding. No heat cycles, and no testosterone problems either. :) Good luck at your rodeos! And god bless!

Other than gelding him, you'll need to be more specific. I've had several horses that I've ridden at rodeos and each has it's own little quirk.

Keep him busy concentrating on your cues. never let his mind relax, so it wonders to idle thoughts and instincts.
Even when just waiting/sitting, keep him responding to you.
I had similar problem, and the only answer was to keep him just too busy.
You can also carry a clicker. If you are not giving him cues for action, click the clicker to keep his ears tuned for it.
Oh, another tip. Don't touch or handle other horses or their tack.

try to do a little lunging, if he listens to you, we find it keeps our stallions mind off mares
