Most geldings are not interested in mounting and penetrating a mare. Yet there are some that will, especially one that is classified as a crypt orchid,(still has one testical inside the body cavity which was not able to be removed in a normal castration). Mares do not have an extra protection for the fetus like a womans cervix, so if a horse penetrates a pregnant mare it is easy for the mare to contract an infection which will cause her to abort. Pregant mares will act like they are in heat, especially in the later months and some will accept a persistant suitor. So mix your bred mares and your geldings with some caution. Most geldings are fine but pay attention if a gelding is paying a lot of attention to a mare.
