You may remember me posting on here some while ago that I was concerned about little fatty's behaviour towards Rose. The situation settled down once he had learned to stay away from her but I looked out of the window this morning and noticed they were standing touching each other which rang alarm bells. By the time I got out into the field he was mounting her. Clearly she is in season (this warm weather) and was totally up for it. Having spoken to the vet I am taking her in for a prostaglandin injection at the end of the month, just to be certain we don't have a baby. My gut feeling is he's a rig rather than a gelding who likes to play, he's cresty and gets an erection easily and when Rose arrived he went through two strands of electric fencing on the mains to get into her part of the field, so keeping them apart whilst she's in season is not really an option. So sadly I have messaged his owner to take him home and I am looking for a new companion for Rose. Mare or gelding??
