Age stud may begin breeding mares?
A colt can potentially breed a mare by the time it turns 2 (some colts even earlier). Most colts this young could not successfully defeat a mature breeding stallion (in the wild) Some horse breeders will use a colt for breeding at a relatively young age. Many breeders will not use a colt until it turns 4. Colts are considered mature (and are therefore stallions) at the age of 5. Fertility, maturity and sexual interest in colts is different for each colt and many 2 and 3 year old colts are still clapping their mouths in submission to mares like immature colts and foals.

Are there more mares than stallions in a herd?
Yes. Typically in any wild herd there is only one stallion with a harem comprising of 10 to sometimes 50 mares. The only other stallions that could be found in this herd are those young male horses that are too young to be ready to breed any females; these are called colts. Once they have reached sexual maturity or are old enough to leave their mothers, the dominating stallion will chase them away. There are also herds of stallions, often called bachelor herds, which mainly comprise of young teenage-like stallions that don't have their own females to guard and mate yet. Sometimes there may be an older stallion or two with them, depending on whether that old stallion has been replaced by a younger and stronger male.

Colts aren't in a family. They are the name of a young male horse, under the age of 4.
