A putto is often called a cherub (plural cherubs) although unlike the Biblical cherub (plural cherubim) in form and symbolism: cherubim have four faces of different species and several pairs of wings, and are sacred, whereas putti are secular and represent a non-religious passion.
(The term stallion for an uncastrated male horse dates from this time; stallion = stalled one.) Stallion is also used to refer to males of other equids, including zebras and donkeys.
Stallions can be a pleasure to have on the farm, believe it or not. We believe that problems with stallion behavior have root with two sources. The primary understanding that anyone who owns a stallion needs to remember is that he is a horse and horses are HERD ANIMALS.
