This message is from: "Lynn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It is quite funny to me because of our lack of horses here (well the ones I am interested in) that there is a large demand for geldings. Because we are still in start up mode (I am talking mostly Friesians here, I don't really know enough about the sales history of the Fjords) people are after breeding stock so mares are very precious. Everybody preys for a filly foal.
But with other breeds that are plentiful, well, most people are after working horses not breeding horses so male foals are probably the preferred sex as generally most people seem to prefer geldings. Just shows how mature your breeding program is that the benefits of a mare versus a gelding purely as a working horse is open to discussion. Me, I have 4 geldings and 3 mares (well two are only sub 2 year old fillies) and I love them all! Lynn
