[drivingpairs] Driving a Gelding and Mare



Could I have some advice from the list about driving a gelding and 
mare.  I have a 12 year old experienced single and pair gelding.  I'm 
in the market for a horse to pair with him.  I've mostly been looking 
at geldings, but if the perfect "gelding-acting mare" came along, are 
there any inherent problems in driving a gelding and mare 
together?  If the mare is trained to drive single, can I assume that 
she will pair with the gelding (assuming a normal get to know each 
other period)?  What happens when she goes in heat?  I've owned one 
mare many, many years ago.  Do owners put their mares on the 
regulation type meds that are available?

I'd appreciate any horror stories, good stories, tips and general advice.

Thanks  - Lorraine
