The natural structure of a family of horses is the band. The dominant stallion is the boss. His role is to protect his band from danger and increase his harem of mares and foals. The band is led in its daily routine of grazing and watering by the lead mare.
Wild horses are shy creatures and must be approached with caution. A wild horse's natural instinct for defense is flight, but a stallion can show aggression when he fears his family is being threatened.
When searching for bands of wild horses, stud piles are the first sign of horse activity. These large piles of manure are territorial markings left by
rival males. Recent horse activity is determined by the freshness of these piles.
A mare may be left behind while giving birth. When the foal is able to travel, they will rejoin the band. The gestation period is usually 11 to 12 months. A good time to see foals is from April 1 to June 30.
A young stallion, at the breeding age of two years or more, will be driven from his maternal band by the dominant stallion. The banished youngster will continue to follow the band at a distance until he finds other ousted young males to join up with. These groups are called "bachelor bands." You can observe these groups following family bands. Occasionally old studs will join a group of bachelors.
The lead mare is "second-in-command" to the dominant stallion in the band. Cautiously she will lead the band of mares and foals to new forage areas and watering holes. Ever watchful, she will take the lead for a fast retreat if danger is present. The stallion will bring up the rear, ready to protect and defend his band from any attack. A band of horses can be come easily disoriented if the lead mare is lost or disoriented.
Ritual posturing and snorts often resolve a confrontation between stallions but fighting does occur. The males are at high risk from combat but death is unlikely.
