That is very true. I put a male miniature donkey in with a very aggressive stallion as a little play-friend so he would have some company. The donkey (Doc) was valued at about $50 and the horse at that time around $50,000.00 - I knew the donkey might take a few kicks and bites before they settled in and got along with each other. The first thing Doc did was to charge the stallion and bite him right on the knees dropping him to the ground, the stallion got up and charged around striking and kicking and then Doc would have the horse on his knees again. This went on for about 30 minutes and the last time the horse was on his knees Doc jumped him from behind and tried to breed him. Upon this happening the stallion gave up the fight and the flee instinct took over with Doc chasing him around a 20 acre pasture for several hours. It was a full moon that night and I'm not sure what happened but they have been good friends to this day. The maternal instinct is also very strong in mares and I have many times awakened to find a new born foal toddling after an old mare it did not belong to. The older ones espcially will jealousy wait until a baby is born and steal it from a younger mare. The old mare might have milk but she won't have colostrum and many domestic and wild foals have died because of this.
