Keeping horse alone?

[fburton]

Exactly the 'right ' to show natural behaviours is just nonsense -any one up for a mass prosecution of vets who castrate male horses or on owners who give their horses regumate

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.
My horse can be a bit stressy so probably will be one that can't cope with being alone.
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!

I'm yet to meet a horse that is happy on its own

they all look massively depressed!

Hell will freeze over before that will happen!
