How a horse fight plays out depends on why the horses are fighting and if it's a play/ mock fight or a real one.
1. Stallions fighting over mares: This can be the most serious of fights, when one stallion challenges another for his mares, the herd stallion will charge into fight. Typically it involves lots of kicking, biting and striking out with the forelegs, but some stallion do develop battle strategies over time. The losing stallion is driven off by the winner and the mares then follow the winning stallion.
2. 'Rank' fights: When one horse wants to move up in rank and spat will break out and they will fight, typically less violently than a stallions fight, but can still cause serious harm and injury. The winner either moves up or maintains their current rank and the losing horse either drops down a spot or remains in it's current position in the herd.
3. 'Mock' fights: These are playful spats used for practice, mainly between colts, but also fillies and geldings in domestic herds. Most of it is posturing and playful strikes not meant to hurt, but can become serious if the horses get carried away.
