[drivingpairs] Re: Driving a Gelding and Mare



My friend and I drove our geldings and his mares as a 4 abreast and he 
drives his gelding and one of his mares as a pair - no problems at all that 
I know of.  No need for hormone regulators.  If you have a studdy gelding, 
that might be a problem but not ordinarily.
