Over the past two months this young stallion has been challenging the leadership of one of the big-time dominant herd stallions. Three weeks ago I watched as he was repeatedly chased away by the herd stallion for several hours. On saturday, I observed that the the young male had won away a young mare that was now with him and that he now was the object of harassment by the bachelor male group he was a member of just a few weeks ago. Here, he stands apart from the larger herd, but close to is new prize.
