The key thing to remember is to work with your mare. You can\u2019t push or belittle her into performing. Mares prefer partnerships! Once they figure out their job and decide they want to do it, you can expect a 110% effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that being said, they also thrive on praise. Mares love to be told they did something well! Make a big fuss when she does something right, and she\u2019ll keep doing it again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sensitive<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a well-known fact that mares exhibit immense loyalty toward their owner. Once you build a proper relationship, your mare is likely to be very affectionate. She\u2019ll even demand attention! They seem to be sensitive to others though. Usually, a mare is a one-owner type horse. They may struggle with having many different riders and handlers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Self-Preservation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mares don\u2019t like it when you compromise their safety. In fact, they\u2019re likely to hold a grudge if you do.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Leader<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many are born leaders and quick to dominate. In this partnership, you\u2019ll have to assert yourself as the lead mare by gaining their respect. Be careful your mare doesn\u2019t learn she can take advantage of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Hormonal<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a well-known fact that certain mares can become moody while in heat. She may be achy or simply more distracted, but this time of the month can be hard for riders. Ultimately, your mare may put up a bigger fight or act out in frustration. Some common signs of a mare in heat include frequent urinating, raised tail, \u2018winking\u2019, squealing, and showing an interest in geldings\/stallions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-34566\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mare-Vs-Gelding1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mare-Vs-Gelding1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mare-Vs-Gelding1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mare-Vs-Gelding1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mare-Vs-Gelding1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mare-Vs-Gelding1-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mare-Vs-Gelding1-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Mare-Vs-Gelding1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Gelding Characteristics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Work Ethic<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most geldings are happy to please their riders. With or without the praise, they\u2019ll try! Many are average learners though. Geldings are consistent, but stallions and mares will work with more enthusiasm. Once you figure out a mare, you\u2019ll have an incredible performer. Your gelding is likely to be more level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their work ethic is strong and they\u2019re usually dependable. Many beginners learn how to ride on geldings. In general, they don\u2019t have their mind on breeding. They\u2019re not stressed about territorial issues or their mood. This makes them rather pleasant to work with.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tolerable<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Geldings tolerant a lot more than mares. They don\u2019t have the same moodiness that comes with the female gender. Mistakes are often overlooked and rarely do they hold grudges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Playful<\/b><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two young geldings in a field can mean trouble. Many are very playful and love attention. You might find them nipping, pushing, and probing others.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Stallion behaviors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all geldings are laid-back. Some actually exhibit stallion-like behaviors. This can include mounting and herding. These geldings can be difficult to handle and may struggle in a herd environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gender should be considered when searching for your perfect match, but don\u2019t make it the only factor. Personality, temperament, and experience far out-weigh whether your horse is a mare or gelding. Each horse should be evaluated as an individual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s hear your experiences with both mares and geldings!
