In theory, non-breeding but intact males should be able to live together happily enough. After all that's what happens 'in the wild' with bachelor groups. In domesticated practice, however, ...
 
That's interesting thanks. There are sheep available but they aren't exactly horses. I could get a companion pony that my children could ride but it wouldn't be particularly safe for them to ride on a bridleway by open moorland.

Think I will just ask around for a small companion but given that grazing is so hard to find the poor ****** will prob end up staying where he is :(

Interesting about the legalities. There are several horses around me that DO live on their own and as far as I know there haven't been any prosecutions!
