TRUE:
Horses are herd animals by nature. In the wild, it literally makes the difference between life and death, therefore, their herd instinct is extremely strong. They also develop close relationships with other horses and removing them from their "friends" is very upsetting.
Once a horse has been in a herd, it is very traumatic to completely remove them from their herd.
If you have to remove them from their herd, try to relocate them to a place where they will be part of another herd, or have at least ONE horse "buddy". And remember, anytime a horse is introduced into a new situation, whether with one horse or many horses, it takes time for them to be integrated and and find their place in the pecking order. It can sometimes take weeks or even months before they are "accepted".
Horses CAN be kept alone but it's totally against their nature and they don't like it - - AT ALL.
If they can't be around other horses, a goat will make a very suitable companion for the horse. One goat will become very attached to a horse and will actually get very aggressive in protecting their horse buddy

Can a horse get upset if it is separated from his heard?
Horses can and do get upset if they are separated from their herd. This is because horses are herd animals and their natural instinct is to stay with the herd as this means there is less chance of being attacked by predators. However this is a negative behavior that many horsemen and -women find undesirable in any horses that they own. This fear of being separated from the herd or from a particular horse that that horse has bonded with is called "herd-bound" or "buddy-bound". A horse, in a human-horse relationship, should not get upset or panicked if it is separated from its herd. It should immediately gravitate towards the human that is working with it, being riding or doing ground work without making a fuss at being lead away from its herd or pasture buddy.
