A bathroom would be the perfect addition.<br /><br />Mares or gelding? <br />I know geldings generally have a better reputation than mares. I owned a wonderful, sweet gelding when I was younger. I've had good experiences with several mares. And my worst experience was with a gelding. Currently, the two mares I have here are both sweethearts. It depends on the individual. I seem to be partial to mares. Ideally, I think I would like one of each in my barn.Once Upon an Equinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807098276875052982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-54563978515115338252012-03-11T09:34:28.942-04:002012-03-11T09:34:28.942-04:00If I didn't have my horses at home I would tot...If I didn't have my horses at home I would totally have to have a bathroom in the barn lol.<br /><br />Geldings!! 100% without a doubt, geldings! I've never met a mare like what Dreaming described. All of the mares I've met/owned are bratty and love to pick a fight. Unfortunately as a teen I was hotheaded so I wanted to fight back lol. I just don't enjoy their mood changes. I guess we're too much alike to get along LOL! So yeah, a nice, loving, confident gelding who is the same horse day in and day out is perfect for me. :DAchieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-66682560160762341422012-03-09T22:56:29.596-05:002012-03-09T22:56:29.596-05:00I wish I had an awesome indoor.

Or an all weather outdoor would do just fine.<br />I'd like to answer your question even tho I am not doing the hobby horse thing bc I have a different view then most. I like mares. Sometimes more then gelding. I like how stubborn they are. How they are always feisty and I think from personal experiences that they have more drive. I rather take a tired mare into a show ring knowing she will do her job then a tired gelding. And the being in heat, squealing, mare mood doesn't normally bother me much. But that is just my opinion. I do love a few geldings to death. But most are just far to laid back for me.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07368532091786233188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-90907093949800906472012-03-08T19:16:44.196-05:002012-03-08T19:16:44.196-05:00Yes, it sounds like your barn is ideal for the ani...Yes, it sounds like your barn is ideal for the animals. I second the bathroom - I have done my share of peeing in stalls and in a bucket in my trailer, however! <br /><br />Great question! I have only owned one mare, and based on what I've heard from other folks, she was very level headed when she was in season. Many times I could hardly tell. Based on my experience, then, I'd have to say either. The plus to the mare is that if she is of breeding quality you could end up with a twofer!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.com
