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.
Because the equine is a social animal, stallions in breeding farms often have a non-equine companion such as a goat. A herd of domestic horses establishes a pecking order, but because stallions are kept separate, a dominate gelding (castrated male horse) or mare will be the leader.
