Re: RC: Prejudiced? Mare or Gelding? White hooves or black?

hooves were comonly thought to have more integrety than that of white. Not
at all the case and yes it has been official for some time. Ask the AFA.
And as far as your preference for Gelding or Mare, it is a matter of your
skill level and head smarts, i think. A gelding will tell you, more easily,
when he is tired whereas a mare will be harder to notice. i prefer mares,
only because they tend not to "punk out" when you need them to climb a hill.
But there is the occasional gelding who has what it takes. But i think about
half as many as mares.
