Castle Rock. I am with you, I run all of my boys from 2 and up together. As long as there is enough room and they are away from the mares. There is no problems. If they are right near the mares, then we have problems during breeding season. No one hurts the other, but we do get some squealing and kicking for a couple of minutes. Most of the kicking is only hitting air. By putting them together, the younger boys lear manners.
If anyone has ever watched Animal Planet, they may have seen the show about the male Elephants that were relocated to another area. They were all young males. As they got a bit older, they started killing Rhino's. Come to find out, by relocating them with out adult males, they created young male bullies. They then introduced adult male Elephants and with in a short time, no more Rhino's were killed. In the Wild, there are large herds of bachelor horses running together.
I hate the thought a a single stallion having to be cooped up. They are herding animals and need companions.
