I've got geldings and I LOVE THEM !!! I'm working towards a barn full of ONLY geldings as I have NO intention on ever breeding again and compared to my witchy pooh mares they are complete puppy dogs and my favorite 2 minis are my geldings.

I have 1 gelding named Kid, he is the pride and joy of my life. This year we will (hopefully) be going to 7 show, the first being in April! Hopefully in the next few years, I will add the gelding I have already planned to buy.

Forgot to mention that on the 13th, Kid turns 8!!!!!

I have 3 mini geldings, Chili Pepper and Cruiser are both unregistered B sized, and Midnight is AMHA.

I also have a gelded mini donkey, Earl, and 4 gelded big horses, Cheyenne and Renaissance the TB's, Matastar the RMH, and Impulse the grade buckskin.

guess i am the only to say, NOPE. i have not one... our first riding horse was a gelding and a better teacher for us newbies you couldn't have asked for. we lost Applejack to old age a couple of years ago but he remains in our hearts for all time. i also had a APHA gelding out of my mare that we were just beginning to ride and what a good boy he would have been, but he got sick and died just before he turned 3

we also had a mini donkey gelding but caved in to the begging last year and sold him to my daughter's friend where he gets much more attention and is spoiled rotten and she is showing him... for now i love having my girls and having babies. when/if we stop breeding, we will geld at least 2 of our 3 jacks in order to keep them, as there is no way we could ever let them leave and as someone said, a nice stallion makes an awesome gelding... so an awesome stallion must make an even MORE awesome gelding. :aktion033: :aktion033:

there IS one gelding out of the 27 equines on our property, my daughter's Arab, but since he technically does not belong to me i can still say NOPE - although my APHA mare will be bred again this month so by this time next year, who knows... we may have a potential gelding as no matter what sex her foal is, i am keeping it, and i just won't have a large stallion with 3 jacks and a mini stallion already on the property, too much potential for trouble... besides the fact that i have mom and sis...

i for one am very glad to see all of you so proud of your geldings, for many people and for many reasons they are the perfect horse!

I LOVE how Kendra and her family have so many geldings, now that is a great example for the miniature horse world, and they are "using" horses too.
Thanks! Mostly though, it wasn't a concious "there needs to be more geldings in the world so we'll geld all these horses we raised/bought", we just wanted good show/parade/driving horses!

Shortly we'll be adding another to the list, a coming three year old who finally has all his "bits", and we have one yearling colt, no big rush to geld him but he'll be a fabulous driving gelding, very excited about him!

And in case anyone's interested (if not, sorry for boring you) here's our boys. All of them except Henry & Iginla are AMHA registered. They're listed oldest to youngest!

Flying W Farms Donner - 29 year old retiree … except when he went to a show last summer, and did very well! The only surviving member of our original four horse hitch of blacks.

Sheep Meadow Gretz- 23 years young, still traveling as a leader in our eight horse hitch, was a show horse for years, and still occasionally shows the 4Hers how it’s done

Sheep Meadow Bunky- 20 years old this year, also a leader in the hitch, self appointed “most important horse†on the place!

NFC Illusions Image- Best driving horse in the world! (but I’m not biased). Not able to show anymore due to lameness issues, but did very successfully for many years. Now teaching 4H kids all about driving, he takes his new job very seriously.

Sheep Meadow Nova- Longtime member of the hitch, and still going strong, even though he’s not quite black, he’s so good they can’t bear to leave him home.

Chinooks Knight Rider- Another hitch black boy, come along way from his first year with the hitch when his nickname was “Scaryâ€! Accident prone though, can pick him out from the other blacks in winter by finding his scars!

Circle J Elvez- Has spent time in the hitch, but was a “pain-in-the-butt†so was then a show horse, Supreme Halter Horse winner, will likely return to hitch in the future, currently on hiatus!

Circle J Zachary- Show horse since he was a weanling, does it all, drives single and team, obstacle, showmanship, halter, lots of championships over the years.

Mountain Views Woos Willie- Member of the hitch, Willie is a bonafide sweetheart, loves everybody, though he doesn’t believe in working hard!

Mountain Views Fozzie- Nicknamed Spook for a reason, he’s come a long way since we got him, and next year is set to become a “contributing member of society†by joining the hitch.

PitRPats Paco- A breeding stallion for a couple years, Paco is now the smallest (32.5â€) member of the hitch, like Nova doesn’t quite fit in, but so good at his job he keeps traveling with them.

Little L Acres Clunkers Pending- A show stallion in a previous life (people thought we were nuts to buy him and geld him!), he kept parades exciting for the first couple years, but he's settled in nicely now.

I’m Too Slick For You- A Country Pleasure Driving champion for his previous owners, another real angel, a great member of our hitch.

Circle J Dezigner Genes- A champion in halter, country pleasure driving, and team hitch, Duke is expanding his horizons this year with a 4H member, in showmanship, halter obstacle and hunter.

Morning Moons Arrow Dynamic- “Straight Ahead Fred†as he’s been dubbed is working on his driving training and is going to be a flashy member of the hitch in the very near future.

Circle J Finnegan - All around youth gelding, winner of many high point titles, and an athletic driving horse that just keeps getting better.

Circle J King George- Another great youth gelding, already adept at halter, obstacle, and a star at liberty, his goal this year is to complete an entire hunter course, and put some of that movement in front of the cart.

Raftered Hearts Blackjack- The sweetheart of all sweethearts, he was shown by a 4Her a few years ago in halter, obstacle and showmanship, now we’re just hoping he stops pushing that 34†height limit so he can be a hitch member.

Circle J Hawk- Crazy-nuts until he became a show horse last year, was a halter stallion, now well on his way to becoming an all around gelding.

Henry- Oversize black gelding, one of only 2 geldings actively for sale!

Iginla- Oversize black gelding, spitting image of Henry, also for sale!

Circle J Captain Jack Sparrow- 2 year old gelding owned by my 11 year old cousin, will be trained for obstacle and driving she tells me!

Circle J Jerome- 2 year old, already shown at halter, this year expanding to halter obstacle and showmanship with his 4Her, future member of the hitch.
 
We currently have 1 mini gelding and 2 QH geldings... but we have a mini stud that is going to be gelded as soon as he can
