[RC] For folks who run their horses in herds - Dolores Arste

Question:
Has anyone run into a horse who will chase the others and bite. How would you introduce
a horse like this to a small herd (say 3). Is it likely that he will pick on the same horses
and what makes him think he has chased or bitten enough?
 
Would you introduce a horse like that to one at a time. In what order current lowest to highest or
highest to lowest?
 
Would you ever consider a muzzle in a case like that. The muzzle can stop the biting and
give the others a chance to.... To what? I dunno.
 
How do you minimize the risk to the small herd. A friend of mine had a neighbor's stallion get loose
and he got into their pasture of 3 big horses and two mini's.
