Haven't read the thread but if you want to meet some lovely dovey in your face mares come and visit me. I'll introduce you to Victoria, the gelding of mares. I can't clean her stall without her helping, I can't walk by without her nickering at me. Actually all my big mares are pretty pocket ponyish. My three little mares are indifferent. Patient, workmanlike, kind, but not in your face unless there is food involved. LOL
