If you want to keep them both, get him gelded! Why keep him a stallion if you're not going to use him as one? I'm AMAZED he hasn't bred her yet!! 3 1/2 years ago, my mare had a colt and he was acting 'studdy' by the time he was a month old, he would try to mount her while I was riding her! And he got very agressive, so needless to say, i got him gelded when he was 5 1/2 months old. He was immediately a changed horse, very gentle!
Question: Why don't you want him gelded??

If you do not want her bred seperate them.
That is why so few people keep stallions as they are hard to keep and they must be kept seperate from the other horses. They have to not only be in seperate pens but with a alley in between the pens.
You can put the mare on Regumate but it is hard to give long term. You are going to need a better solution if you are keeping both of them long term.

You have 3 solutions. Sell one, get him gelded, or invest in two different paddocks. A male horse under the age of 4 is called a colt. Anothing older if he is able to breed and is not fixed is called a stallion. Stallions are agressive, loud and need very special handling so they wont maim someone. I suggest gelding him. He will be quieter, your mare wont get pregnant, and easier to work with. After being castrated they usually become sweeter then mares, patient and quiet. Much easier then dealing with a stallion. If he isnt fixed and breeds with his mother it can cause health problems and results in inbreeding. The solution like I said before are to sell one, geld the stallion, or invest in more land to seperate them.

Okay, first off, the four year old son is called a colt, not a son. Getting him fixed is called gelding him. And do you know what an intact colt is called? It's a stallion. Have you ever worked with a stallion? They can be very dangerous and aggressive if not trained perfectly. You should really get him gelded, because if you don't he will become dangerous (if he isn't already) and may even have to be euthanized if he hurts someone.

Sorry to tell you this but ur gonna have to: a-sell one
b:get one of them fixed or c: put them in seperate pens. If you plan on ever selling the mare though you might not want to get her fixed since the next person to have her might want to breed her again. And really, whats wrong with breeding her again? Foals are majorly fun!!

The only way to stop them from breeding is to have him gelded. It is crazy if he is not stallion material, and not papered to leave him that way. Geldings are so much easier to be around, and to handle. If you don't want an inbred colt running around then do the responsible thing, and either sell him, or geld him...

If you don't want her bred again, get her fixed. Why don't you want him fixed? If you don't want to do the responsible thing, then sell one or the other if you can't keep them apart.

the only possibility i can think of is to sell one of them. If you dont want to do that then maybe you could afford to put in a dividing fence between them.
