I don't currently own any horses, but I'm planning on getting one when my family visits Mexico in the summer. He would be kept on my uncle/grandparent's farm. My uncle has about seven or eight mares and they are all really "aggressive." I was planning on getting a weanling colt. I want to keep with the other horses, so he will be in a herd situation. I'm going to have him gelded so he can be kept with mares.
These are my questions:
1) Will he be OK in the same paddock as the mares? What if they gang up on him?
2) If not should I buy a companion for him? Maybe another colt or a filly?
