Nice mare! I am partial to solid paints myself.. yours has what I call the "too-intelligent/mischevious mare look." to her They try to look all cute and pathetic, but inside that mind, they already have your demeanor and intentions pegged and are just hoping for a treat..
I don't know though.. some geldings can be a pill too.. especially ones that were allowed to be studs for a few years before being snipped! My friend has a gelding who still thinks he is a stud, and man, if you were a stud, he hates you and wants to rip your head off, and if you were a mare, he'd love to breed you, lol! But he is fine in-hand and under saddle; he was trained well, but there's no stopping his instincts if you turn him out with mares or allow him to see the other studs through a window..
Here's a thread on my girls, so I don't hijack your thread with pics..
