Are fillies and mares more difficult to ride than colts or stallions?

well all fillies and colts are hard to ride because they are young and do not have very much training or experience, plus they are very spooky.
mares can also be difficult to ride because you have to be gentle with them and not get frustrated with them.
stallions can be difficult as well because they tend to be crazy and driven by their hormones.
the easiest to ride would be a gelding, which is a castrated male horse. this means that it can no longer produce children, and they tend to be more calm, as all neutered/spayed/castrated animals are.
hope that helped!
