I have a young 3yo gelding whom I purchased in the spring. He was turned out with a elderly gelding and a mare. All was fine until come July the gelding started mounting the mare, quite successfully I may add. My competition mare also started reacting very silly around him, squirting, and generally acting like a woman possessed! I removed the other mare from his field and he is now just turned out with the old gelding. The mare he kept mounting has been moved to another farm, however my competition mare is still at home and in a separate field, but when we hack past the geldings field she acts like a complete hussy if that one gelding comes up to the fence. She is fine with all other geldings. Spoke to the breeder and apparently he was gelded as a yearling with no issues. Next step is blood tests from vet to ascertain if he is a rig, and whether we need to remove any remaining tissue. Has anyone every dealt with anything like this? When the gelding is split from mares he seems fine but still worries me that my mare reacts to him in that way!?
