What is the difference between a male and a glending horse?

Answer 1

They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

I have always had geldings and found that they are really calm tempered than mares. Some geldings are rather energetic though.

Mares are rather moody and can be rather naughty. My sister has a chesnut mare and she is a real moody girl. When she is in season; my sister has to watch out because she will run at you and spin her bum around. We have found oustress has really helped though.

If you are thinking of buying a horse; dont let this put you off it is the ability you want more than anything. Some mares are really calm.

Another point of view. Growing up we were only allowed to have mares because geldings could still fret over mares even though they are castrated. A combination of mares and geldings in a herd resulted in a higher injury rate than a non-mixed herd.

Geldings are permanent little boys and often get into "scrapes" and get injured because they are mischevious. A permanently injured gelding is a liability.

Geldings tend to have more consistent behavior on a day to day basis.

Performance stallions are best handled and trained by experienced horsepeople. Their unique mindset lends itself to top notch performance when properly channeled. Improperly handled stallions can be problematic.

Mares have their own unique behaviors. We kept the good "workmanlike" mares and sold the ones with the emotiona issues mentioned above. It would be these mares that were allowed to have foals as well and the best fillies were held back for riding and breeding. The colts were always sold.

We never retained colts good quality stallions were always available.

Answer 2

Well, males of course have male hormones, which will result in them being stronger than most mares (supposing you compare him to a mare exactly like him as far as age, exercise and breed goes) And they will have more boyish behaviors, and most of the time have a greater tendency to act aggressively.

Most mares get moody every month when they come in heat.

Geldings have less of a stallion behavior, and are often valued as the best kind of horse to have because they do not have the monthly moodiness mares get when they come in heat, and they (most of the time) do not have the stallion behaviors either.

Answer 3

A male horse has sperm and a female horse has eggs. The female horse (mare) Carries the foal while the male horse (stallion) Has sex with the mare.

You can also get geldings which are male horses without all the sperm :) lol

Have fun

Answer 4

Stallions have heavier musculature through the head and neck than mares so, in general stallions will tend to be bigger than a mare of the same breed.

Answer 5

actually you can tell if you look under a boys there is a little black thing sticking out! but is you look under a girl there is no black thing sticking out!

Answer 6

The difference between a male horse (stallion) and a gelding horse, is that a gelding horse is a male horse that has been fixed.

Answer 7

A male horse is called a stallion, while a female horse is called a mare. A glending horse is a fictional creature and not a recognized term in horse anatomy or breeding.
