Was it really fighting or what I would call wrestling?  I'm not sure
if my boys would survive if they couldn't torment each other.  They
play and wrestle and and then they all stop to eat or I'll find them
grooming each other later.

Geldings do tend to need to play...much more so than the mares.  At
least in my little herd..  But then I've never raised a filly....only
boys..
