[RC] re: mares vs. geldings - Cindy CollinsI'm one of those folks who SWORE they'd never ride a mare. I'd knew several mares who were absolute terrors and they kicked other horses at rides, etc. Then, Jackie Bumgardner let me ride Sierra Spunk and FM Fad Serene in competition. Changed my prejudices totally. There are still mares that I do not like and wouldn't have on my place and they are moodier than geldings. Also, I do periodically have problems with them kicking each other and my gelding when they are in heat. I think they are more savvy and take better care of themselves, in general, on the trail. My current competition horse is a mare, but my up and coming youngster is a gelding. I wouldn't make a decision on an endurance horse based on gender.
