For the stallions, no, but for the mares, usually. One stallion leads a whole herd of mares, and he mates with every one of them. Each mare, however, is unlikely to mate with any other stallion except the one leading the herd.

Yes. Breeding that occurs between a zebra stallion and horse mare can create a hybrid animal that has stripes and horse like coloration. The opposite cross rarely produces a live foal (this is also true of the horse stallion/female donkey cross called a hinny).

The successful cross has been used in Africa to prevent livestock losses due to African Horse Sickness.
