Comments
In the section labelled "Life", it is mentioned that "Dement stood Allan at stud for only a few months before Allan's death..." Just to be clear, as I am not entirely familiar with the topic of pedigree horse-breeding, is "stood at stud" a regular, thereby grammatically appropriate term, used in these circumstances?

 * It's a pretty common phrase in the horse world... "At stud" means a stallion available for breeding, almost always for a fee. "Standing at" is also very common. Not an RS, but conveys the usage White Arabian Filly  Neigh 15:12, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
