stablemates
Horses sharing quarters
Stablemates are horses housed in the same stable, especially racehorses trained by the same person.
The term extends to people or things from the same source—athletes on the same team, products from the same company, or artists on the same record label: The two singers are stablemates at Atlantic Records.
When stablemates compete against each other, there's often speculation about whether one will defer to the other.
