Everyone has a personal preference when it comes to owning and riding horses. In last week’s online poll, we asked our readers which they preferred to own: mares, stallions, or geldings. More than 1,450 people responded and we’ve tallied the results!

Of the 1,485 respondents, 605 (41%) said they prefer to own geldings, while 337 (23%) said they prefer mares. Just 28 respondents (2%) said they prefer stallions, while the remaining 515 respondents (35%) said a horse’s sex doesn’t matter and that they judge each horse by it’s individual merit.
