So much to the delight of the old hags at my yard, new man disgraced himself this morning, and apparantly tried to mount the other mare in the field
, so they got her in.
Neither myself or the girl that owns the other mare were there at the time, and neither of us have seen any sign of any behaviour that would indicate he is getting a bit big for his boots...So she arrived and was like oh my god I'm sorry she's mega in season today and is such a tart, and i was like, i'm sorry I have a bad horse!!
We put her back out with him and they grazed for a bit, then she was like 'oooo man, come here', and yes he did try to mount her, got up but then blatently didn't have a clue what to do next so got straight back off, then they just went back to grazing. So we have put her in with my mare (who is in a penned area in the field for restricted grazing), and they are all fine and grazing happily, and we will see what they are like tomorrow.
It just seems to be that she is mega in season and gagging for it, and he happy to oblige, but then didn't actually do anything! Thank-god! Up until today he really has been fine with both mares, no herding, absolutely no colty behaviour at all, an absolute gent.
So half the yard thinks its the most terrible thing in the world...but myself and her owner are ok with it as we seem to think its just normal horse behaviour (our pony gelding tries to mount my mare occaisonally, apart from is too small to actually manage!!) and in a couple of days she will be out of season and all will be fine.
Are we both completely deluded, or is this just what horses do?? He is 8 and was cut at 2, so I wonder if its just leaned behaviour for him. And she apparantly has had other geldings mount her, so is perhaps just the biggest tart in the world!?
