Another thread has got me thinking. By isolation, I don't mean as a temporary unavoidable situation. Or with a donkey etc. Or even individual turnout with horses in adjacent fields, or on a busy yard with other equines in sight. Although tbh, even any of those I'm not keen on, (excepting donkeys) as a permanent way of life, but accept for some horses, they themselves make it the only option. Ideally though, imo they should have company in with them the majority of the time. But, I think complete isolation except for humans is a form of mental cruelty when done long term. Something I've always believed, & those around me. Do people now consider this ok if it suits them? Do many of you keep horses isolated? Your opinions please!
