In the wild horses live in herds. Herds consist of mares that are usually related, and one stallion. The alpha mare keeps everyone in line including the stallion. This one male will keep this band of mares until he either dies or is chased off by a stronger stallion. Young males are ejected from the herd and can find their own mares or hang with other bachelors. This prevents inbreeding.
