Best Answer

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)
