Stallions and Gelding

John Eldredge:

A stallion is hard to tame. If you want a safer, quieter animal, there's and easy solution: castrate him. A gelding is much more compliant You can lead him around by the nose; he'll do what he's told without putting up a fuss. There's only one problem: geldings don't give life. They can't come through for you the way a stallion can. A stallion is dangerous all right, but if you want the life he offers, you have to have the danger, too. They go together.
