Re: Mares
I ride both (mares-stallions) and geldings. I have no particular preference you must expect the likely problems of your choice but I haven't experienced any I couldn't overcome with frequent riding. Most, if not all, interaction problems with horses can be overcome with frequent riding, however, if you want a safer bet a gelding will eliminate more, but not all, of the problems of sexual drive. I have a gelding that still claims and covers my mares. He was cut at 7 years of age.

Re: Mares
I own three mares & two geldings. I currently trial on both geldings and one of the mares, but will probably have another mare ready by next fall. Quite frankly I don't have a major prejudice either way, (though I did in the past) , and I have to admit my current favorite trial and pleasure riding horse is my 9 yr old mare. They are all Walkers, heavily Midnight Sun breeding, including a grandson, and all are at least great grand get.
Re: Mares
The very best horse I ever owned was a mare. She had no faults and was very flashy, many people would comment on her even years after I quit riding her. I presently ride a mare that is good but acts bossy in the pasture. I know geldings are more popular but I always decide on the individual not the sex.I have had some geldings that I was glad to get rid of.

Re: Mares
My favs are MARES....there is nothing that beats a little bit of "attitude" from a mare. I've found that geldings tend to be lazy, although my husband has a gelding that is far from lazy and is a go all dayer. My first horse an Appy cross was a mare and by far the smartest horse I've ever had. My first Foxtrotter was a mare and she is the best horse that no money can afford to buy. She is one that is a great babysitter for beginners or little kids. Mares ROCK!!!
