Confused Gelding

[jonathanfenton]

Hello all, Been a reader of this forum for a long time thought I would put this to you.

A gelding was led past the stable of one of the stallions where it ground to a holt with his rear at the stallions door squatted slightly and started peeing. Feeling slightly bemused by this we decided he must of been frightened by the stallion charging at the door but the next day he did it again and the day after he did it again. Led it past a different stallion and he did squatted and peed again! Very confusing. Anyone heard of this behaviour from a gelding?

No, I haven't. It's certainly not typical horse behaviour.

have you had thorough vet checks to ensure the horse wasn't born a hermaphrodite ? if you haven't do so.

Oh and also get an animal communicator out to see if it's a mare born into a geldings body. If both of those fail I would assume that he is gay.

It sounds like dominant behaviour to me, marking his stand & telling the stallion to butt out !!

For horses? Hmm, I'm not so sure!
