The "herd" is actually called a band, for wild mustangs. The band consits of a dominant male, the stallion, and a lot of mares and foals. Bachelor stallions that don't have their own band of mares will often challenge another stallion for his mares. The winner of the battle will get the mares. Some mares have been known to stay with their old stallion if a bachelor wins. Domestic horses do live in "herds" though. there is a lead stallion, he is mostly for breeding and protecting, then there is a lead mare, she is the one in charge, she tells everyone what to do, then, there is foals and mare's. that is who is in a heard and what they're jobs are.

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 Sometimes there may be an older stallion or two with them, depending on whether that old stallion has been replaced by a younger and stronger male.
