Chaucer called the Pardoner a gelding or a mare. This is odd because he was not under grown in any way.

I think you mean mare? If so, a mare is a female horse and a gelding is a male horse who cannot reproduce. A stallion is a male that can reproduce.

MY horse is pacing back and forth in her pen and when she almost calms down my gelding will put his ears back and drive her to pace again what does this mean?
It appears that your gelding is overly aggresive towards your mare. She is worried being near him. What makes me think this is that she will calm down, but the gelding pinning his ears gets her worked up again. So, try getting her with another horse and see if thigs get better.
What is the male name for mare?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by what is the male name for mare. A mare is an adult female horse. An immature female is a filly. So if you are asking for the male gender name for a horse, it is Stallion for an intact male, gelding for a castrated male, and colt for immature male.
If a pony is gelded before 5 years old is it considered still a pony or a horse?
a pony that is gelded. gelded is when you fix a male equine! It would be called a pony gelding. Pony refers to the size of the equine (less than 54 inches in height for most associations). Many people think the word pony mean young like in foal, but there are horse foals and pony foals. many old timers cal a stallion /stud a "horse where as they would always call a mare or a gelding by those terms and never call a mare or gelding a "horse". You see this in a lot of old time Standardbred racing folk, where on a race program the sex is listed as either mare, gelding or horse (horse meaning non-gelded male or stallion)
Does mare mean male?
No. Stallion, gelding, and colt are terms for male horses. A stallion is a male horse that can be used for breeding or, standing at stud. A gelding is a male horse that has been neutered. A colt is a male horse (stallion) that's newborn up to 2 or 3 years of age. Mare and filly are terms for female horses. A mare is a female horse that has given birth at least once. A filly is a female horse, usually young, that has never given birth.
What kind of horse is a glending?
If you mean gelding, it is castrating, or "fixing" a male horse. After he was gelded, he would be called a gelding instead of a stallion. If you actually mean glending, then I have no clue what you're talking about, sorry.
