Horse question....?

Question

My friend has a stallion & is thinking of getting a mare that has already been bred. Is it safe to put them together since she is already pregnant? Also, can you put a gelding with a stallion?

Thank you to all who answer.

Answer 1

depends on the stallion

Answer 2

It depends on the stallion.  Some are as quiet as geldings, some think that they're the kings of the barn and should be treated as such.

The gelding/stallion combination will rely on the stallion's temperament; keep a CLOSE eye and at the first sign of trouble, separate.  It could be risky.

I don't recommend the mare/stallion, because logic says that she will not always be pregnant.  What about when she foals? And what about specializing lodgings for the baby?

Keep separate if possible, because it's a guaranteed safety.

Answer 3

Normally a MARE already been bred is safe. YES SAFE ENOUGH.

Answer 4

I would never but a gelding with a stallion.Even if u think the stallion is calm.I think is extremely dangerous to put a mare that is in foal with a stallion.The stallion could get jealous.The stallion should be but in his own field that has a strong fence.
