GDG- A horse is a horse, or course...

[Richard M Kadas]

One must suspect that most didn't want stallions who become virtually unmanagable in the presence of a mare in heat.

A weird question popped into my mind this morning. For their horses, did the ACW armies prefer mares, stallions, geldings or all of the above? I suspect the horse breeders may have kept most mares for breeding. Did they prefer geldings over stallions?
