We run a fair amount of horses in one herd-there are more than one stud with them but they get their own mares and pretty much ignore one another out on pasture. Most times once a stud has a band gathered he won't accept another mare into it-I think they run them off to avoid fighting the stud she ran off from. We gathered horses the other day and there was a mare we'd been treating for retained placenta-the studs let her in the bunch she had been with them up to foaling. I had another mare we'd bred to a different horse up in the corrals so I tried to mix her in. They kept chasing her off-I wonder if they could tell she was already bred. Horses definately behave different in a more natural setting.
