Yes, there are risks. The stallion may get to feeling fresh and try to mate with one of the mares, and the mare will most likely kick at him. However, the stallion might not do that, because in the wild, there is always a stallion with a bunch of pregnant mares. He probably wont though since the mares won't come in heat, and if he does, he'll probaby only do it a few times if any before he gets the picture. So, you can try it and just keep a close eye on them for a few days. If it is a valuable stallion, I wouldn't advise it though.
