Hoof'n it wrote:It depends on how mature the colt is. Some aren't mature enough to think about mares, until around 8 months old.


Part of my concern is that while the colt is only 5 months old now, he will continue to mature until he's gelded. So a non-issue at present could very well turn into a disaster.
