My horse sure things he is a stallion! Constantly pesters my mare (jumps across two fields to her), gets 'excited' a lot, gets 'excited' if riding with mares, nips and acts quite riggy. When he is not excited he is chilled and placid.

I imported him from Belgium and I think he was gelded Jan Feb time. I cant see any special parts but I also struggle to see any scarring too. He also mounts things such as hay bales, fillers ect if you lead him up to them.

He is more of a pest than a problem and I seem to have the field situation under control now I figured him out.

Anyone else have horses like this? I feel it sensible to get him tested?
 
You could also try RigCalm from Global Herbs...it is quite expensive but it really helped my late-gelded 8 yo recently who transformed into a full-on mounting rig in the presence of an in-season mare....he also injured my other gelding by running him off....it took about 3 weeks of RigCalm, appropriate separation and re-introduction and now both geldings and the mare are living alongside each other very happily. After this work I decided not to go for the rig test as the RigCalm was doing its job...
Good luck!

Yes I have debated trying that! Might see how he goes on it. He is at my own private yard so I dont have to worry about any livery rules regarding management so I can separate him, which I have already now
