For those that don't know or remember, I only have 3 miniatures. For whatever crazy reason (where was my mind), I ended up with one of each -filly, stallion, gelding.
The gelding is (hmm, Jan.) 22, the stallion is 7 and they have been here together for 5 1/2 years. My fillly is 5 and has practically grown up here (so here over 4 years).
Of course, the stallion is kept in his own run while the gelding and filly are out to run in the pasture. Only a hog wire fence and pipe gate to separate. Over the years the stallion and gelding have nipped at each other and a couple of times I've seen the gelding chase the filly trying to get "behind" her. (most of the time he runs out of "steam").
Wierd thing is it's colder than cold here been in the single digits at night and only in the 20s, if lucky, during the day but they are all acting like it's spring and time to breed!
The "old" man and stallion make a game out of yanking on each other's halters thru the gate. The gelding is very protective of the filly and won't let her near the stallion's fence. Yet, he chases her and she slams him with both hind feet!
What's up? Do they know something we don't like it's going to warm up soon or are they just nutty from being confined with the bad weather? Anyone else have horses trying to breed (and that old man has been gelded since he was 7) in this frigid weather?
