I always thought that if you wrote the sentence like that one above, you'd replace the period with a comma because the dialogue continuing after the description is also part of the same sentence the character is saying. Like, I just always think of it as if the character is continuing a sentence, then no matter how it's broken up with descriptors of action and dialogue tags, it needs to continue afterwards as if it's still part of one sentence.

It is.

The core sentences in that line would be:

"Okay, so this is the stallion."

and

"And these are the mares who like the stallion."

The interruptions to those lines of dialogue belong as parts of each of those sentences, however you want to structure it (commas or dashes, not ellipses) and whatever kind of pause effect you're going for, so the periods at the end of the interruptions are incorrect.
