Possible Idea, "Rag of Colts"
13 years ago
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
"In the wild, colts are driven from their herds by the herd stallion somewhere between the age of one and two. This may be in part an instinct to prevent inbreeding. When driven out, they usually join with other young stallions in a bachelor herd. They stay with this band until they are mature enough to form their own herd of mares. The terms "rag" or "rake" have been historically used to refer to a group of colts, but they have fallen out of modern usage."

;-P
It's beyond amusing how some groups of animals have the most bizarre names... like a business of ferrets, a rout of wolves (running), a murmuration of starlings, a romp of otters, etc etc..
I've always wondered what they'd call a bunch of Yeti.. but my vote is for "Avalanche" XD
I love "a business of ferrets", I could see the little buggers conducting a meeting around a long table. ^.^
