It's been known to happen. I don't have any REAL stories form friends or anything, but it turns out a lot of geldings are never completely cut, therefor they might have a very small amount of something left up there, which could lead to a foal if he covered at the right time. Otherwise, I would be carefull, although the odds are EXTREMELY unlikely, it has been known to happen, and people believe that geldings can NEVER do anything like lock-up with the mare, but they can. My friends mare kept getting abused by her gelding when they were pastured together, she finally noticed it in the spring and split them up immediately, moving and finally selling her mare which she had been trying to do anyways. But anyways, her mare was REALLY beat up from locking up with her gelding. Basically the mare went through unecessary trauma, i mean she couldn't have even gotten a baby out of it.

My point is, I would be more worried about your mares safety then getting impregnated by the geldings, because although their glory is gone, they can still have that stud streak, which most all of them do, and therefor it can lead to your mare getting hurt.

I wouldn't worry about it though
