If you've ever been around horses, chances are you've heard the stereotypes about the different behavior of mares and geldings. This study used the newly developed E-BARQ (Equine Behavior Assessment and Research Questionnaire) to look at these sex-related differences more closely. It is important to understand what riders believe about their horses, as well as what differences there actually are, because an unsubstantiated prejudice towards particular sexes may very well to contribute to increased use of harsh corrections.

Participants also reported on the behavior of their horse, revealing three sex-related behavior differences: Mares were significantly more likely to move away when being caught, whereas geldings were significantly more likely to chew on lead ropes when tied, and to chew on their blankets.
