there are also colts who sour, refuse to try, etc. not just limited to the female of the species. flower alley is one example. no reported injury, works ok, but come race day....naaaaaah.

whoever finds the answer, the cure, will be a rich man or woman.

Colts and geldings have the same affliction. Usually there is some kind of unsoundness, sometimes not.

right...it's just not easy to say that it's a female hormone thing.
wonder how much it has to do with losing that 'alpha' trait....a horse will be willing to follow the herd right along if they no longer feel any desire to lead the way.

It's a very special horse indeed that doesn't have the natural instinct to follow the herd. Very few actually desire to lead the way.

Yep... I really do think it has something to do with hormones. Hormones rule the world. LOL

What a stupid thing to say. Bitch. I'm going to punch you.

Oh, sorry. Must be that time of the month. 'Scuse me; I'm going to have a good cry in the back room...

Tee hee.

(Seriously, I think hormones do have enormous effects on us, too!)
