The best solution is to either wait until just after you have seen the stallion urinate before collecting or breeding him, or alternatively train him to urinate on command, so that once he has done that you can go ahead and collect/breed.
Training is not that difficult - put him in a stall with fresh bedding in, and he will probably spontaneously urinate. Shaking bedding under his belly and whistling may also assist.
The other alternative is to catheterize the stallion's bladder and drain it each time prior to collection/breeding, but that will require veterinary intervention and is therefore not preferable.
