Desexing mares?

I know that you can geld stallions and make them geldings, but I was wondering if people desex mares to stop them breeding or improve their temperment too?

Buckskin, are those just certian mares, or most all of them? And does it hurt at all, whats the recovery time for horse?

If the unmentionable but way more humane technique mentioned above technique were to be developed to the point that it were usable by the masses then I might reconsider my thoughts. But as thing stands I hate to hear of people even thinking about doing this to a mare. The surgery is tough and high risk when other things can take care of the problem.

Just give the horse a break when they are off colour.
