Why do daran's "exchange" herds?

The months of May and June is mating season and in early May daran herds will come together in valleys and males will compete for females. Stallions impress mares mostly by fighting other stallions and putting on a show of prancing, rearing, and head tossing. Some young males who are not as big or experienced as older stallions will take a less violent approach and while the stallions are busy fighting, they will quietly court desired females into their own herd. Stallions that already have herds will also come and will end up with a few more(or less) females or even an entire new group of females. This mare exchange prevents inbreeding and keeps up genetic variation.

In other words, they "exchange" to prevent inbreeding, and to add variations to the genetics. Source

Why do daran's "exchange" herds?
Daran's exchange herds because males are always trying to win over females to court and pass their genes on to. This is how new herds are created, and how the gene pool stays large.
