Stud
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"I have put out to stud an old horse who could not be controlled at the scent of mares. Facility presently sated him towards his own mares; but toward strange ones, and the first one that passes by his pasture, he returns to his importunate neighings and his furious heats, as before."" --Montaigne on the Coolidge effect |
