I doubt the mare has anything to do with their behavior. My herd is mixed and I rotate through which horse I ride. Some times I take the whole gang riding, some time I pull one horse and ask that horse to go by theirself. It's just training issues getting the horses to behave regardless of who is with them, herdmates, alone or showing up for a trail ride with 100 new horses. My geldings are always more fractacous. its' just their personality and has nothing to do it the mares were around or not. My mares on the other hand are my babysitters that I can put anybody on. Again just their personalities. |
