I would think it depends on the horse, but here's something to think about.....all my mares shove, bite, tease and boss my geldings around . Even the mares that are lower on the pecking order. Especially when they are in estrus. Some can get really nasty at that time. In my experience geldings are better mannered and tempermented in general. Not so schitzoid like some mares can get when in heat.
