I may be buying a house with a four stall barn and 5 acres. If I decide to keep some rough boarders, I'm considering only accepting mares. (As I have one) Has anyone heard of this?
110% agree with this. I love mares, I prefer them. Geldings are kinda goofy, the ones I've met anyway! LOLI don't know how this myth that mares are so awfull when in season started but it is just a myth. If you allow your horse to act stupid don't blame the horses gender. I have mares turned in with geldings and I have riddeen alot of mares and I never had a problem with them rather they where in heat or not. One convienience to having an all mare barn is that they only ruin one spot in the bedding where a gelding will soil two spots. I would not hesitate to turn mares and geldings out together.
