***Horses Of The Pacific***
The Herd Hierarchy
The rest of the herd has a pecking order from the highest-ranked horse, after the lead mare and stallion, to the lowest-ranked horse. When a horse is introduced into the herd, they initially begin at the bottom of the ranks. It is up to them to work their way up (or not!) by challenging and gaining the respect of the horse above them.
The Stallion's Role
Within a herd, there is typically a lead stallion and a lead mare. It is their role to keep the herd safe and moving. With the lead mare at the front of the herd, and the stallion pushing from behind, they lead the community to food and water.
In wild horse herd dynamics, the stallion also has a second role in resolving any conflicts between other horses. From an observational point of view, it is very interesting to note that in certain situations the stallion chooses to intervene, but in others, he does not. For minor disputes, if he considers that it is in the best interests of the horses concerned to fight it out alone in order to learn a particular lesson, he will let a conflict go ahead, all the while keeping a watchful eye on the proceedings.
THE HERD DYNAMICS OF DAILY LIFE
Horses have a daily routine and pattern which they follow. This can vary according to their living environment and the time of year, but commonly they start the day by eating and then carry out mutual grooming.
This is the easiest time to observe bonds between members of the group, many horses seem to have a “best friend” who is their favorite grooming companion, and with whom they spend a lot of time.

Lead Mare: She will be the leader of the herd (taken by me)
Lead stallion: Only if the lead mare chooses
