A failed attack on my fort yielded me several horses in my cage traps which my animal trainer quickly got down to training. In the units menu, it reads 'Stray Horse-Hostile'; will these badboys be safe to let free?

[Beanchubbs]

If they tasted blood, they will attack your dwarves.

[Elliott_Thinas]

They've never harmed anyone; only served as mounts to my enemies.

[Quietust]

You can only tame creatures originally listed as "Wild Animal". Creatures listed as "Hostile" or "Invader" have already been trained (by your enemies) and cannot be peacefully released (they'll either attack your units or simply flee to the edge of the map).

[Simmura McCrea]

Drop them in a pit and let them breed, the foals will be trainable.

[Elliott_Thinas]

Cool I already have a bunch of horses so I think I'll let them free as a sign of my charity; that or throw their cages into the magma (I unfortunately have no magma but I'm just throwing that out there for the magma lovers)

Won't they attack the foals? I remember reading that horses who gave birth during a siege attacked the foals.

That is horrifying.

That is horrifying hilarious.

Fixed that up for you.

[Jim Groovester]

As goblins, I've frequently had to deal with invader horses getting caught in cage traps.

They can be tamed, but they will still be hostile. They won't attack your fortress, but they will still interrupt everybody's work.

Best to put them down.

Won't they attack the foals? I remember reading that horses who gave birth during a siege attacked the foals.

Yes. Yes they will.

[Beanchubbs]

Horses are not worthy enough to live if they are going to be a problem. I have a unicorn farm so it's far more worth it to just turn the horses into Shashimi.
