Did you know that each band of wild horses has a lead mare, who plays a crucial role in decision-making and guiding the herd? The lead mare is typically responsible for leading her band to water, food, and shelter, as well as making decisions about when to move and where to graze. She also helps maintain order within the group, resolving conflicts and ensuring the safety of the herd. Mares in the herd exhibit strong social bonds, forming close relationships with other mares and their offspring.
