I think a saint. They said he super easy going and kind on the website.

This made my mind wander- who are some of the most gentle, easy-going, and kind stallions currently standing? Kid-safe or almost kid-safe level. Just laid-back dudes. I'd be extremely interested to hear of anyone's experiences meeting those sorts of studs

I don't know if his personality has changed much since going to stud, but American Pharoah was brought out by Baffert for meet-and-greets with almost anyone. Super laid-back boy then. Hope he still is.

Pretty pony post: Calculator. Like any half-decent gray horse, he is a big dirt enthusiast.

Animal Kingdom was one of the horses to get me into racing. Visually, one of the most beautiful animals I've ever seen, I'm sure photos don't do him justice. But the temperament he seems to show in videos has also really strengthened my liking for him

I've heard that Shanghai Bobby has a good temperament, and obviously The Player seems mild mannered. I think I read somewhere that Hansen is pretty polite for a Tapit.

Tapit was a perfect gentleman when I saw him in November. Then again, he’s no spring chicken anymore.

I have met a bunch of stallions left and right around KY, just a little background story I'm a tiny barely 100lbs kid with severe motor skill issues due to heart problems at writing moment, and I'd say Tiz the Law, Honor AP, Caravaggio (just moved to JPN), Yoshida, Algorithms (used to stand at Claiborne) and Lea are very very kind and sweet, I have pet all of them, as well as hold Tiz and Caravaggio by the lead. Ashfords and LE horses are super cool. Blame, Justify, Uncle Mo, Curlin, Vino Rosso and Cupid are also pretty chill, to pet at least. Some stallions I haven't had great experiences with are Into Mischief, Bolt d'Oro, War Front and Midnight Lute :lol:

They bring out War Front on the tours. He's been very chill every time I've seen him.

I had good experience w War Front and Midnight Lute. WF apparently let people hug him every time I visit the farm. It tells me that he is friendly.

ML was said to be a bit 'tough' but I had no issues with him. He allowed me to stand close to him when hes in front of his stall. Let me rub his neck and face. He seems very social and interested in everything. I even held his halter when posing for photos. He takes mints very politely.
