In the wild, horses don't run alone. They run in bands.
Small family groups. Usually 12 to 20 horses. Led by the lead mare. Not the stallion. The lead mare.
She's the one who decides when the band moves, where they graze, which paths are safe. The others follow her not because she demands it but because her energy is calm and her instincts are sound.
The Founding Herd is built on that exact design. 12 women. One lead. A real band of Boss Mares choosing to run together for six months.
You don't need a bigger audience. You need a smaller, wilder herd.
