If used to human companionship, very much so. Every owner of a young dog has come home after a day at work to find a bedroom slipper chewed to bits by their dog - it is nothing more than expression of the dogs loneliness for the owner. They do eventually outgrow that behavior.

∙ 14y agoThe answer is; yes! Horses are herd animals, meaning they need others to comfort them. Get a donkey, another horse, or a few cows, but make sure the horse gets to know its companions. I wouldn't want to be trapped with strangers! I hope you'll consider this when you get your first horse! It could really make him less homesick.

What are horse nesecities?
Horses like humans, need constant access to water, as they cannot just get it themselves. They also need a proper diet, considering their size, breed, living conditions and work that is being done.
