Past post * looking for a riding companion and had a lady call me who wanted me to move my horses to her field so I could ride out with her, went down to the field, horses looked like they needed worming, field was bare and was no way enough room for two more horses, also could not drive and she wanted help breaking her youngster in the field too...

Basically said at the moment was not interested in moving my horses and would call her if I wanted to in the future.
She called me again last night asking again if I wanted to move my horses...I said again no thanks and she was insistant and I can feel this will not be left alone and she will keep calling.

I just want to confirm that having a field with two gelding and two mares would be a problem...my mare is a bit of a flirt and they have only recently had the colt castrated....
I just want to have a good excuse to finally get rid of this woman...!!
 
We have one mare and three geldings, you could never put another mare in with them as this would cause major hassle, geldings would like new mare but also be very protective of current mare too! To be honest dont usually mix mares and geldings but with ours they have been together 8 years and are inseparable now! One of our gelding will jump gates and fences if mare is taken out the field without him!

Tried that one...does not seem to work...just out of personal interest just interested how 2 gelds and 2 mares would get on in a field...?

They'd probably get on fine.
 
But obviously as the point was to find a riding companion, not to move your horses it's a non starter anyway......
 
well every field at my yard is a mixture of geldings and mares and even the biggest flirts of mares seem to be fine once they get used to it
 
I don't have any problems with mares and geldings sharing fields. Probably the majority of yards in the world run mixed herds so not too sure what you mean by this?

You just have to tell her straight; don't fib or it will end you up having to make up more lies to get her off your back. You are far better to just tell the truth and say thank you for the offer but I am happy where I am.
 
I dont see why there would be a problem with a mixed herd? We have 4 geldings and 6 mares in ours.

But the fact of the matter is you arent interested, if she wont listen to polite words, and REALLY wont leave you alone, tell her to f**k off.

you say sorry not right now thanks as a vet told me a colt could be fertile for 2-3months and he had one after 6 months i dont know how credible it is though
