is much more troublesome than one sharing with other mares...
went down mid morning, thinking, get her in, get her ready and go over to the arena..
not a good plan
firstly charlie went round the corner so molly coudlnt' see him, which didn't impress her, and even when he came back, she woudln't settle and wanted back out again.. then the wind started getting up such that things were blowing about .. it became not worth it!
then gaynor said she'd been very up a height and rude this morning, which she's not normally - i'd wondered why her breakfast hadn't been finished - and went off bucking and flying round the paddock...
so out she went again....a mare in that mood just isn't worth the grief, as we'd both get wound up!
tcha.

Mare-atude!
what a nuisance though, if she has to share with geldings :-(
c
only the one, caroline... moved down to share with my friend who has the use of two stables and field behind her house ....
Certainly a pain :(
Oh dear, another tcha day! I hope she settles. I'd have thought she'd have stopped her seasons by now.
Oh dear. Well, I guess it goes with the territory, so to speak. I've heard there are some mares that don't get all uppity like that, but I think it's a pretty common issue.
Too bad, but the weather seems to have been abit capricious as well with all that wind.
if it's only once a month, i guess i can live with it (specially in this weather, LOL)
I always had problems with Polo when he was in with mares he could be a real sod to catch when there was a mare in season. Plus I used to get a hard time from the other liveries when Polo *obliged*. Although one livery had to shut up as we watched her mare walk backwards squirting at him.
