No, most animals don't stay together after mating. There are animals that do, but it's very rare.

In a herd, there will be one stallion and a bunch of mares. This stallion is the only one allowed to mate with these mares until he dies or another stallion steals his herd. So, they do stay together after mating, unless the mare(s) are stolen.

No. Stallions, male horses who may help a mare (a female horse) create a foal (a baby horse), are like a toy every horse uses it, stallions are often first or second on the "totem pole", as my aunt taught me, the lead mare is often the herd's leader. Mares won't even let the sire (the father) touch the foal until the foal can fend for it's self. The stallion may mate/breed with the same mare more than once, or reject her. Sorry for all the horse-word definitions, I didn't know if you knew the words. :D
