I grew up with horses and mules. Will agree that some can be very good

mule we had that would kick you at every chance he got.. Also agree

birth. A lot like people!!!!!!!!!

You're right.
I had a mule that kicked, but he got better after awhile. I lost him
in December, he just dropped dead for no real reason. That was a real
bad day for me. I have an unaltered male mule now. They are supposed
to be very aggressive when they are not gelded, and have a bad
reputation for being dangerous. I raised this guy from a baby, and he
is absolutely the most lovable and safe mule I have ever known.

I can say from paying enough attention to news sources that touch on
horses:

Geldings get girlfriends (if the geldings get to socialize with mares),
and the geldings that get girlfriends get close and cozy with and do
such close coziness bigtime when they and their girlfriends can, while
stallions only go so far as "Wham Bam" and could even skip "Thank You
M'am".

This I heard when Funnycide was a Triple Crown contender.
