Yes he can, but it's not advised to allow a colt or stallion to live with a mare after he reaches 6 months old as they can be fertile after this age, even if they haven't dropped.

What is group male horses called?
A male horse is a stallion. Stallions that live together in a herd are called bachler stallions. They live together when they cant get or find any mares. (females) A small group of any horses/mares/stallions would be basiclly a band or a small herd. For example a stallion might have a band of mares or be in a band with other studs.
What are a horses community relationship?
There is a lead mare, the mare who leads the herd and guides it. There is the stallion who protects the band and follows behind, keeping the mares in line. Then there are three to five mares who follow the lead mare and stay in front of the stallion. When the colts are two to three, the stallion kicks them out so that he stays in charge. The fillies stay in the band.
How many horses are in a herd?
Herd of animal is define by a large group of that animal...it can vary. Free-roaming mustang can be seen in the west, they can be around 15-20 horses Actually horses are herd animals. 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.
How long do horses stay in their herd?
When foals (baby horses) are born the colts (boys) usually are kicked out by the time they are about 2-3 years, or when the lead stallion begins ot feel threatened by this young colt. Often if colts are kicked out when they are mature, they will take as many mares as they cna steal away. Mares (female grown horses) however will stay with their herd for their whole lives (horses in the wild usually die at about 20-25 years but can live much much longer than that) unless they are stolen by another stallion (grown male horse)
Where do stallions live?
A Stallion, being a gender of horse, live just about anywhere you can keep a horse.
What is the number of mares for stallion?
A stallion can breed anywhere from 1 to over a 100 mares per season live cover. Properly managed stallions using AI (artificial insemination) can impregnate even more mares per year. In the wild a stallion can have as few as 1 to 20 mares. Herd size controlled by how many mares the stallion can protect from other males.

What is description of community of wild horses?
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.

How ponies protect themselve?
Ponies and horses are about the same thing. Only ponies are minerature horses, ponies for short, pardon the pun! Ponies and horses live in herds, with all mares, and one stallion. They live in about twenty or thirty mares. Bachelor stallions try to take the mares, and the stallion who leads the herd will preotect himself and his herd. The way he does this can be a violent way. They kick with their strong back hooves. They'll turn around and kick rear hooves. Or they will face the other horse head on and bite them. That is how a horse or pony pretects themself.
How often can You stud a stallion?
Stud is the term for the breeding farm where stallions are kept and not the term for the stallion or breeding itself. Many factors go into how often a stallion can be bred, the quality of the semen, the method used for breeding, and the how reproductively fit the mares you are breeding are. If the stallion is of good quality semen wise you can breed him multiple times daily during live cover (with a real mare.) Or collect several samples for artificial breeding.
Do you keep the stallion with the mare or do they need to be separated?
The practice of separating the stallion from the mare(s) has occurred with intensive breeding programs by man. In the wild stallions that have bands are with their mares year around. There are several reasons to separate the stallion from mares and a number of reasons to leave them together. Reasons to separate: 1) Possibility of Injury to stallion or mares/foals. Stallions can be worth thousands to millions of dollars as can mares and foals. Injuries can result in a lost breeding season,a future performance career, a breeding career or a life. 2) Stallions that are subfertile and used in a breeding program may over breed some mares and be unable to get all mares in foal in the correct time frame. This is especially true for breeds that want early foals. 3) Stallions that are being bred live cover to a large number of mares must be intensively managed and the mares are often only presented to the stallion once per heat cycle. Most stallions in the wild have 5-20 mares in their bands. Some managed stallions breed over a 100 mares/ year. 4) Stallions used in AI programs are generally on a collection schedule of every other day. Having him in with his own mares could be problematic. 5) Mares with breeding issues may need more intensive management, with fewer breedings by the stallion. Mares with delayed uterine clearance need to be bred fewer times, (one if possible) and often given pre and post breeding treatments to acheive a pregnancy. 6) Stallions with certain mare preferences may fail to breed a mare they dislike. 7) Breeder will not know the last breeding date unless the stallion is watched closely which makes determination of the foaling date problematic unless they are foaling on pasture. (Some breedings may occur at night. 8) Inability to determine if the mare has double ovulated and to reduce a twin in the 12-16 day window is another issue. Since few twin pregnancies culminate in live twins or even one live foal this can result in the loss of an entire breeding season. 9) Stallion and mares may pass infections and reduce reproductive success. Reasons to leave them together. 1) Horses are herd animals. Stallions integrated into a herd with their broodmare band or even with a single favorite mare once she is pregnant decreases frustration and behavioral problems. 2) Breeder doesn't need to manage herd. 3) Fewer reproductive veterinary bills 4) Less stall cleaning if the horses are out on pasture 5) Hand breeding can be dangerous to humans...pasture breeding is pretty much hands off. Personally, I keep stallions separated from open mares (mares with out foals) during the breeding season by a single tall fence They can interact and I can see which ones need to be bred or ultrasounded based on their mutual courting behaviors. Pregnant mares and mares with foals are separated and interact with stallions using other techniques. After the breeding season the stallion is given one pregnant or anestrous mare to hang out with during the non-breeding months. (In the same paddock.) I have one stallion that always has a mare with him. He won't breed a mare until she is haltered and held by a person. He is older and dislikes mares that walk forward when he mounts to breed.

Are zebras monogamous?
For the stallions, no, but for the mares, usually. One stallion leads a whole herd of mares, and he mates with every one of them. Each mare, however, is unlikely to mate with any other stallion except the one leading the herd.

How does a black stallion live?
By respirating and consuming calories.
How long is mares?
It depends what you mean by how long are mares, if you mean by how long they live the same as the average horse or pony, how long they are by measurement it varies to which breed they are.
