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.
If a stallion is not to be used for breeding, gelding the male horse will allow it to live full-time in a herd with both males and females, reduce aggressive or disruptive behavior, and allow the horse to be around other animals without being seriously distracted.illies usually soon join a different band with a dominant stallion different from the one that sired them. Colts or young stallions without mares of their own usually form small, all-male, bachelor bands in the wild. Living in a group gives these stallions the social and protective benefits of living in a herd.
