Sable Island Horses: 

Behaviour of Male Groups  

(September 2002)

   

It is common to see several all-male groups temporarily gathered to mock-fight, chase, groom, and graze and drink together. Frequently one or more solitary older males, and stallions from nearby family bands, join them. Such gatherings can continue for many hours, with some individuals coming and going and others remaining for the duration.
