Eventually he’s going to lash out, either just going after his herd’s stallion or going rogue entirely. Do we want to watch him and see what herd he goes after or do we want to put the lame horse down while hoping his sire and herd aren't too offended?

Best not to make irreversible decisions until our hands are forced; the fallout would be unpleasant.
But you are quite correct that certain wands are not to be trusted at our sides, much less at our backs. I will watch closely, and if it appears that matters are heading in that direction -- well, there are options.
We'll talk more about this tonight.
