Thanks
guys! I am going to ask about her heat cycles and try her next week. And I am
glad to hear the positives about mares....I've always been a gelding person and
really never had to deal with the mareish issues

Oh, and forgot to add...
you said you search and it seemed that geldings were more succesful?
The statistics could be misleading - it could be just more people are
riding geldings. You'd have to do a true study where all other
parameters are equal to compare gelding vs. mare success rate.
And a bit of trivia - I was told that the bedouins preferred to ride mares in
battle. the stallions were left at home. Don't know if true, just
interesting if so...

In response to the question about mares being "moody" -
I have had an arabian mare for 6 yrs. She is the most relaxed laid
back horse I've ever ridden. I can't even tell when she goes into heat,
because her mood never changes.
I once had an arab cross gelding. He was a jerk.
I say pay attention to the personality and not to the gender. Just my
novice opinion.
