I don't think there is that much to worry about until he is about 18 months old. BUT he will remain a "baby" a little longer if he is not with the mares. Having said that, I don't think it's a good idea for him to be separate. He should have least a gelding as company. On the other hand, being with the mares is good for socialization, they will discipline him if he needs it. Anneliese
