Yes because the herd is what the horse considers to be his "safe zone". When removed from his herd he feels endangered. Eventually the horse will learn that he is safe where ever you take him, but this takes a while.
It is always hard for your horse to leave his family. Give him a couple days to get warmed up and be out there as much as you can to keep him/her company. If there are other horses around, it won't be as hard to adjust, but do keep an eye on him/her just in case.
Oh yes. Horses can really get upset if this happens.

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.
