Hierarchy

| [Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista |
Social Order
Every herd has leaders, followers, and a well defined pecking order known as a dominance hierarchy.
The Alpha Horse is the dominant leader in a herd. Horses instinctively seek leadership. The Alpha Horse provides leadership and security in a herd.
It is quite common for the Alpha Horse to be an old mare. The members of the herd are submissive to the Alpha Horse when it's time to eat or drink. She often leads the herd to safety and food.
When a horse breaks the rules of the herd, it is rejected and vulnerable to predators. Rejection teaches horses to be submissive and dependent upon leaders for survival and food.
This complex social dynamic holds the wild horse bands together, and each individual knows his or her place in the order. Rules of band behavior are carefully followed. Punishment to a young animal is swift, usually just a head movement with ears laid back or a nip or gentle kick. |

Hello Mark, very nice picture. I remember horse riding in the snow. Very romantic... I miss it:-) Last winter was pretty dry.
Have a great weekend.
