mares or geldings? I can only speak personally, but I think geldings are=
the way to go. Once a mare is introduced into the mix, you can expect yo=
ur
boys to get a little silly. As far as riding mares, my experience has not=
been good there either. Mine have always been more unpredictable and
finicky. The only time I've had trouble with a gelding is when he has
fallen in love with his female pasture mate. Even my stallion, who I rod=
e
for several years in CT and some Endurance was more pleasant and
predictable than any mare I ever rode. Good Luck, Jan.
