What is a group of horses called?

To give you information about a group of horses, I need a name for the group. A group of horses doesn't have a standard collective noun like a "flock of sheep" or a "pride of lions." The term used often depends on the context. For example:

  • A herd of horses: This is the most common and generally accepted term for a large group of horses, especially in a wild or semi-wild setting.
  • A string of horses: This refers to a group of horses owned by one person or stable, often implying they are trained and ridden.
  • A team of horses: This refers to a group specifically working together, such as a team pulling a wagon or carriage.
  • A stud: This refers to a group of breeding stallions.
  • A band of horses: This is often used for a smaller, more loosely connected group of horses.

Tell me the name of the group of horses you're interested in, and I can give you more specific information! For instance, if you named the group "The Whispering Pines Herd," I could create a fictional description of their characteristics, location, and history.
