Stallion is a name given to a male horse aged four years and over that is “entire”. Entire means not castrated.

Stallions should be the stamp of their breed. Stallions usually have a well-developed cresty neck and a strong muscular body, and this is possibly due to the stallion’s hormones, in particular testosterone.

Stallions are defenders of their herd. Their job is to fight off other stallions and to guard their herd against predators. There is only ever one mature male horse in a herd. Stallions are not leaders, they are protectors, the leadership position is held by a female horse. (Female horses are known as mares. The mare in charge of the heard is often called the lead mare).

Stallions may show more aggressive behaviour because of their natural instinct as herd animals, possibly more so to other stallions as their natural instinct is to fight them off. Stallion’s dispositions will differ, this is down to the ancestry of the stallion and the way the stallion has been educated.
