I got my first horse when I was 13, he was a gelding (male fixed horse) that loved other males a little too much. He would mount them. My horse was a Dutch Warmblood, about 1,600 pounds (the kind you see on the Olympic dressage events), and he would mount any male he could get to; including a Shetland pony. Needless to say, he was banned from pastures that had other males (probably because he injured the Shetland pony that he mounted). Eventually they put him in a pasture with a thoroughbred mare (female), and that was great. Although he would run through fences to get to other males, and then mount them. I never received an explanation from anyone about his behavior, except an old cowboy. He told me that gelding colts makes them “confused”.
However, my pup is still too young to say what he will and will not tolerate. I thought I would share a funny story though.
