"The Stallion" is a series of five songs by the rock band Ween that lyrically focus on a fictional stallion. Various details about the Stallion are inconsistent from song to song, and there is no real plot to the story. The first two "The Stallion" songs appeared on the band's 1991 album The Pod, the third appeared on 1992's Pure Guava, the fourth was an outtake from 1994's Chocolate and Cheese, and the fifth appeared on 1999's internet-only release Craters of the Sac.

Stallion owners are required to report to the SWB Association all mares bred during the season as well as the breeding results.
The stallion, at the earliest age of 2½, must have an obligatory x-ray examination according to specific instructions and be found not to have osteochondrosis in the hocks or stifles.
V class is given to stallions that do not meet the BLUP index requirements, that the index is based on less than 25 offspring, or if its offspring's competition results are not adequate for their respective age group, the stallion is awarded a V. A V classified stallion is not granted a breeding license.
A: The stallion is forgotten in the fertility equation despite being responsible for half of the probability outcome in each breeding.
Each year we see stallions with low numbers of mares booked get the majority of them in foal, but what people are not told is that the stallion may need to keep breeding late into the season to achieve this.
Sperm numbers may increase until the stallion is around 13 -14 years old, however the ability of the sperm to get mares pregnant declines with time due to effects of cumulative insults, effects of aging and at present unrecognised factors.
