Fillies mounting fillies?

Bella · 08-18-2006, 03:41 PM

Is it normal for a yearling filly to mount and undulate against another filly?

I know cows do it all the time, but I've never heard of or seen female horses act like males... so, is it normal, or do we have an un-normal filly?

I have known two mares to do it, so I imagine yearlings will too

Yep, it has nothing to do with sex, it has to do with dominance. You have an alpha mare in the making there

Yes, I have seen it happen alot. I wouldnt be worried unless she starts to get really agressive and is constantly doing it and then I would worry about cysts on her ovaries causing her to act studdish, but this doesnt sound like the problem.
