My mare mounts other mares

Well after some research I guess I've come to the conclusion that it is pretty normal although I had never heard of it until now. My mare is definitely the leader of the herd, and on top of that is in foal. It's not too common, but she's taken to mounting our other two mares, and not only that but she acts just like a stallion (squeals, snorts, arches her neck, etc.). But if I've read right this is just a combination between her being pregnant, and her being the dominant mare. It was quite weird to see the first time thouhgh. :shock:

I think the biggest difference is my mare is extremely dominant, I have had around 50-60 horses, and honestly couldn't think of a single one who would be able to take my mare on. Also, we had just gotten a new herd member for training and this really brought this behavior out. She doesn't hump or anything like that, just jumps up on. Maybe something she's picked up from the past? Anyways, from what her previous owner said, she's in no way homosexual. Before she was pregnant she wanted nothing more than a stud on her, I'm not concerned as she's only had this happen a couple times, and once I'm working with her, in no way does she act like a stud. From what I've read, it's only a combination between her dominance and being pregnant. I'll update if anything changes.
