hi
i have a new forest gelding who i have a problem with
he will be 2 years old in october and he was gelded at 5 months old
the vet made sure she got the right bits out
but over the last couple of days while he has been tied up near my other gelding he tries to mount him and the other gelding lets him
can any one offer any advice as to what that can mean and if there is anything i can do to stop it

sounds like it would be worth getting him tested for being a rig!he shouldn't be behaving like that

Hi I would just think it is a young horse playing ive seen alot of geldings do that

When we got our gelding rising 3 he still had a very high opinion of himself, the girls on the yard used to wicker at him as he went past but he never got the apparatus going!! Now at 7 he is perfectly calm around the girls. Contrarily the first time our filly had a full on season the big horse in the next field kept calling her over and over, she ended up getting injured on the barbed wire. The horses owner was offended when we asked for him to be moved and explained we thought he was a rig - we ended up having to move our ponies away because our boy got angry and the girl wouldn't stay away from the horse. So have a look at your boys behaviour around the girls, far more telling than superiority 'games' with other boys. Also ring your vet for a chat if you are worried - ours will discuss problems on the phone to give us pointers before inflicting call out fees on us!!
