When a stallion approaches a mare, he will elevate his tail and slightly curve his neck which shows he is confident.

Stallions can be very sweet and calm when no mares are in sight, but when it is time to breed a stallions behaviors can change drastically.

Therefore, we propose that there is strong selection pressure for stable, long-term stallion–mare relationships, called consort relationships.

However, mares and stallions with long-term social relationships will often rest together, graze together and groom each other, all without sexual interactions.

This shows the stallion that the mare is ready and going into heat.

Principles and Applications of Domestic Animal Behavior]]> 2018-02-28 22:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/meganhenrichs/7c1kpxcanup3/wish/236706994 meganhenrichs https://padlet.com/meganhenrichs/7c1kpxcanup3/wish/236709027 Low interest or slow arousal
- Some stallions would not have interest in mares and act funny when trying to breed a mare. Some would only respond sexually to humans and only ejaculate while repeatedly licking a human's hand.

Ejaclation Failure
- Stallions could mount 20-30 times without ejaculating or become too exhausted and frustrated to continue to try.

Inconsistent Performance
- Stallion could breed with a mare one day and the next day show no interest.

Excessive Aggression
- Stallions become extremely aggressive toward handlers and mares.
