Hi Cherie,

want to introduce another gelding slowly if one possessive gelding has
had a group of mares for some time.
There is no reason that mares and geldings can't get along. For years -

Geldings do tend to need to play...much more so than the mares. At
least in my little herd.. But then I've never raised a fillyonly
boys..
I think when they are very young, they play close to equally hard, at least
up until they are about six months to a year. Then, the b

that the mares and geldings be separate, but I'v
Mac and Thunder were our first two horses, then we got Holly. We had
the three of them for about 18 months, then we bought Sundance...then
Joe. Next came Gracie, then Cruise. I bought them in that order, and
they always lived together until age-related feeding needs kicked
I guess it just depends on the horses.
Exactly right. Where I board, it is of course their business to keep horses
safe and they usually have geldings together and mares together, but with
careful supervision when they are first introduced, they will mix sexes.

And how does it work with horses? I have a mare and a gelding. I'm
thinking that maybe my next two horses should be mares because I think
Orri would probably fight with another gelding over the mares (he was
gelded late). Or am I off on that?

If not spayed/neutered early would it be more of a problem?

Cary says five is our limit.
We've always had a six dog limit. I did go over for a short time when we

That sounds like my kind of dog - I want one! Good thing you're across the
continent. Cary says five is our limit. But, then Cary says a lot of
stuff... :)

What kind of dog is Earl? Someone was giving away two seven month old
puppies in the paper last night. They were pug, chihuaha and lahsa apso
mix. I thought that was quite an interesting mix of breeds.
