No. They can not because they are not kept in the wild. In the wild, a stallion keeps other stallions away. This is to insure that all the mares carry on his blood line in their foals.

Will a stud hurt new foal?

In the wild, a stallion won't hurt a new foal if it is his own. However, if they steal a herd from another stallion, they might try to kill those foals simply because they are not his own. This is so that only the offspring of the strongest and best stallions live. Some human-kept studs will hurt a new foal, and should never be left unattended with a new foal. There are some stallions that can be left with the mare and foal. These are typically stallions that have been raised in a herd and pasture breed. Never leave a hand-breed stallion alone with a mare or foal.


What color coalt would you get if you crossed a sorrel mare to a black stallion?

The foal could be a number of colors. Based on the description the stallion is either aaEe or aaEE. The mare is --ee (as her genetics at the agouti site is unknown). Research on the color of her parents and grandparents may be an indicator of the alleles at the agouti site. If the stallion is aaEe there is a 50% chance that the foal will be chestnut/sorrel. If the stallion is aaEE there will be no possibility of chestnut, however the resulting foal will be determined by the alleles that the mare has at the agouti site...which are currently unknown. If she has a single black parent, there is a 50% chance that the foal will be black (if the stallion is aaEE and a 25% chance of a black foal if the stallion is aaEe. Since black true black at the agouti site is homozygous recessive...it will be the mare's genetics at the agouti site that will determine the color of any non-chestnut foal.
