I agree with Karen. Geldings and mares should get along fine. You might want to introduce another gelding slowly if one possessive gelding has had a group of mares for some time.
At some stables I've worked that had pasture board, they were adamant that the mares and geldings be separate, but I've always mixed mine. In CA when I was working with Rock Ranch's horses, I had three geldings, a yearling colt, and two mares in the pasture-all got along. Now there are two Belgian geldings and four mares and a filly in together. They are all compatible except at feeding time one of the Belgians was a bully, but now that I've taught him to stand in the corner while I bring the skinnier Belgian in another corral for extra food, then he gets a treat, he continues standing while I bring the bale in and quickly give the mares their hay-he then gets his hay and some special goodies in his corner!
