[RC] Pasture Arrangements with Mares/Geldings - Jonni
Wow, indeed some rather interesting perspectives on
herd management. I am more concerned with the welfare of geldings in a mixed
herd, than mares. It seems that the mares normally will take charge and be the
ones to pick on the geldings. But maybe I have just dealt with geldings who
were....well wimps. LOL Of all the geldings I've had, only 2 ever got
amorous with a mare. One was the one who had a retained testicle, and the other
got the hots for one mare we had for a short while, and SHE was the one backing
into him, bumping him, flagging her tail, and convincing him he must be able to
do "something".
Indeed, as Linda mentioned, Ginny was the one who
did not know we had pre-ride vet checks at our events, but would LOVE to sell
you "e-lessons" so you could learn to ride etc. over the internet.
