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!

How long is a horse in-heat?
Fillies at the age of four become mares and coming into heat is when mares seem to say to the stallions hey I'm ready to breed! So the age a female horse goes into heat is four just remember foals, colts, fillies, stallions and geldings especially geldings don't go into heat.
What is the adult name of the foal?
Depends if that foal is male or female. Colts, which are young male horses, grow up to either be stallions (if intact) or geldings (if castrated) when they reach adulthood. Fillies, which are young female horses, grow up to be mares when they reach adulthood.

Why are stallions mean towards other stallions?
They tend to be more aggressive towards other stallions because of mares. Stallions try to drive each other away to prevent another stallion from breeding with their band of mares.
What female animals are call fillies or mares?
Horses, of course.
What is a girl colt?
A girl colt is typically referred to as a filly, which is a young female horse under the age of four. In equestrian terminology, colts are male horses, while fillies denote their female counterparts. Fillies are known for their playful behavior and are often raised for various equestrian disciplines. As they mature, fillies can develop into mares, which are adult female horses.
Are stallions safe to be turned out with mares to breed?
Yes
You have two mares that are 16 months old and a stud that is not quite two this morning he tried to mate with them is that possible at their ages?
Yes. Fillies become sexually mature at around 18 months old, and can foal as two-year olds. However, they are still growing at this age, and pregnancy may hinder their growth. Ideally, mares should not begin breeding until four years of age (to foal at five years), although some are put in foal when they are three. Very few home-bred colts are good enough to use as stallions. There are many first-rate stallions available commercially, and it is far better to use one of these. In any case, young colts are difficult to handle and are probably better gelded, unless there is a specific reason for not doing so. www.horses-and-horse-information.com/articles/horse-breeding.shtml
