Some do, some don't. I would introduce him to the stallion slowly, put his pen next to the pasture, see how the stallion reacts over a few weeks, and make sure the gelding doesn't seem to want to dominate the stud (that will not end well). Lots of observation.

A neutered male horse is called a Gelding, and the word for neutered would be gelded.A castrated horse is usually referred to as a gelding. An incorrectly castrated horse, one that retains some testicular tissue that produces testosterone, is called a ridgeling.A castrated male horse, regardless of age, is called a gelding.Gelding because it stands for a male horse who cannot breed anymore either because it has been fixed or it is not of age anymore.*************A gelding is a castrated horse. Age has no relevance to the issue.Uncastrated = stallion, Castrated = Gelding. Stallions have a strong urge to dominate the herd and usually don't get along well with other stallions. They're often harder to handle too.
There is no lead stallion. There is Alpha Mare. SHE leads the pack. But a stallion in the pack would breed with most every mare.
It is the stallion of the herds job to protect everyone in the herd. The stallion is always a strong horse, because he must fight other males to gain mares.
Not really, no.
A female horse is commonly known as a Mare.Mares are wonderful, i have a gelding myself (de-sexed stallion (male horse) but my friend has her mare sharing our paddock. She is lovely BUT they do have their own cycle which causes them to be more aggressive, agitated, feisty and grumpy towards people and other horses.Mares were known to be wiling to sacrifice another horse from the herd to save themselves from any danger, whilst a stallion or gelding would sacrifice itself to save another.Good luck!

Yes wild horses do live in groups called a herd and there is a lead mare and a stallion. The stallion protects the herd and the mare leads it.

Yes, a group of horses is called a herd. The herd is generally led by an older mare and is guarded by a stallion, who is also the only breeding male in the herd.

several things, lowly 'talking' to each other, the mare could even kick the stallion if she is sassy and independant, the stallion could herd her away from the rest of the herd, nuzzling, etc.
