Foals begin the process of weaning by the age of 3-4 months and are fully weaned by the age of 6 months.
Horses usually live in temperate grasslands. 
The lead mare is the wisest of the herd, often the oldest as well. She takes the lead when the herd travels, decides when to move and what the best route to their destination is, and is also the highest rank, getting to graze from the most plentiful, nutritious patches of grass, and to drink first from the water hole. She will also help break up arguments and fights between other horses, though she will most likely leave stallions fighting for the lead stallion rank be.
The lead stallion‘s job is to protect and defend his herd from predators and rival stallions, and like male African lions, tries to breed with as many females as possible.
When the herd is travelling, the lead stallion is in the back, making sure the stragglers keep up with the herd, keeping the group together.
The lead stallion is often exposed to the rougher elements of nature due to his job, leaving him more vulnerable than other horses in the herd.
