If they have been just recently gelded, I'd wait several months, maybe 
as long as 6, to give the residual hormones times to leave their 
systems.  But more importantly to give their brains time to adjust to 
the new state.  In my experience, stallions have to learn to be horses 
after being gelded, especially if they haven't lived with other horses. 
 I wouldn't be surprised if what she thinks is personal dislike between 
these two isn't just mutual lack of experience living/riding/dealing 
with other horses.  She could start turning the horses out with other 
horses they do get along with then, as time goes by, introduce the two 
over a fence and watch to see what's happening.  As they forget to be 
studdy, they may find they actually like each other.
