During spring, bands typically become more active as forage improves, water becomes easier to access, and groups spread out across wider grazing areas. Sparring and social interaction between individuals can increase during this season. Especially within bachelor bands, as they assess rivals and position.
Harem stallions remain protective of their mares and are often more tolerant of trailing or ungrouped mares than during harsher seasons. Mares that do not disrupt band cohesion may be allowed to remain near the edges of the group for extended periods. Bachelor stallions also become more visible around harems during this time, observing bands, testing boundaries, and watching for weak cohesion or opportunities involving drifting mares.
Spring can bring subtle behavior adjustments within mares, especially as foaling approaches and maternal behavior increases. Mares with newborn foals often become more assertive about spacing and personal boundaries, while experienced individuals continue guiding movement, grazing choices, and group stability. Resource guarding is generally less intense than in winter, however, preferred resting areas, water access, and safe foaling space can still create brief social tension.
Foaling Chance: 80%
MZ: Most bands will begin traveling north.

In summer, bands become more relaxed and widely dispersed as forage is at its strongest. Groups may spread across larger grazing areas, reducing crowding and direct competition. Social interaction remains frequent, though serious sparring is often less intense than in spring.
Harem stallions focus on the protection and cohesiveness within their band. They are also generally more tolerant of trailing or ungrouped mares during summer, especially if they aren't disruptive. Bachelor stallions still engage in brief posturing, parallel movement, and occasional sparring to maintain position, while continuing to observe nearby harems.
Mare structure usually remains stable, with experienced individuals continuing to guide grazing patterns, resting areas, and movement between resources. Maternal mares will still showcase protective behavior, though foals are often more active and independent as they grow, engaging in early social learning. Resource guarding is usually at its lowest during summer, though can still be present.
Foaling Chance: 50%
MZ: Bands will be located north.

Bands concentrate around survival as resources and shelter are limited. Social interaction remains important, however, unnecessary sparring is reduced.
Harem stallions are the least tolerant of trailing mares during winter as resource competition is at its peak. Group stability becomes critical, with unfamiliar individuals being displaced unless they readily integrate within the band. Bachelor stallions still assess rivals and may shadow harems from a distance, though serious challenges are less frequent unless a strong opportunity appears.
Resident mares can express defensive behavior over space, especially around feeding areas or shelter. Structure is generally stable, though dominant mares may displace others when near preferred resources as pressure increases. Resource guarding is very common.
Foaling Chance: 5%
MZ: Bands will be located south.
