Turned the new mare out today with our others. Let my big lad and her out first, as he's sensible. So she waved her tail, squirted, backe dup inot him and generally behaved like a complete slut! He then got very excited (know what I mean
and let everything 'hang loose', sniffing all over, and she decided to inspect his goods! I have never seen this behaviour before, and my lad was certainly very upset by it, as most men would be I imagine!
She then proceeded to do exactly the same with both of our other geldings and both took offence also, has anyone else ever seen a mare behaving in this way?
It was just the look on the boys faces, if only horses couild blush!
So now the 13hh is following her around, charging at the 17hh every time they get close, and trying to herd up 'his' mare all the time. Unfortunately for him, she wants to greet everyone.
We have now spent all evenings laughing ourselves silly, and thankfully they've settled down to grass although we had to take one out as he was attacking her and trying to injure here but he will eventually see the light I'm sure!
