Horsey Help

[CarlottaH]

Hey i am currently studying a HND in animal care at college, I am having some problems writing an essay and wondered if anyone could help.

I need to know if horses can live in harmony with cattle, pigs, goats or fowl.

I would be so happy if anyone could help me with their own personal experiance.

Thank you Lottie

I have 2 goats on the yard with the horses and they are fine, also have them turned out in a field next to a barn full of pigs and they dont seem to mind but they have been able to get used to it in their own time. i think its the smell and the noise they dont like. i also know people that have happily kept horses with cows and all been fine, bull included.

Mine has been turned out with cows and sheep and used to be on a yard where there were turkeys/ducks/geese and chickens on the yard. Also had to lead past pig sty to get to fields, all were fine going past the pigs after the 1st few times.

I used to keep mine on a farm with pigs and cattle, now they have hens as companions and have never seemed to mind any of them
