[RC] mixing mare and geldings - Peggy B-Smith

"The most tragic of circumstances that sticks in
my mind, though, was client
who knew enough to separate geldings and mares,
but the mare got out, and a
person who knew nothing about horses, trying to
help, put the mare into the
pasture with the geldings, instead of the
separate pasture for mares.  The
mare was raped to death before the owners got
home.

However, I have also seen many mares that have
been tortured almost to death
by geldings, stiff in the rear, unable to walk
well, from too much sex they
could not defend themselves against."
 
Am I the only one who things this is just, well - wierd?!
 
Are we talking about horse behavior or is this a fantasy horsey porno film?
Geesh - horses "having sex".  I thought animals "bred" to procreate.
Mares being "raped to death?" 
 
I have two geldings in with my mare - she is the boss. But, I will be more vigilant now to signs of my geldings becoming sex-crazed and raping my mare.
 
Can we get back to LD versus endurance and babies riding endurance and not wearing helmets and loose dogs - anything!
