Okay, I have it now.  Yes, this male was for a long time in the paddock you describe. I'm presuming he was Marwell's original Chapman stallion, arriving as part of their first group circa 1970. As he was still there in June this year he's now nearer 40 and being wildcaught, could be older still! A 2nd younger male has joined him since last year and they are in the paddock behind the waterfowl lake. Thanks for the information.
