its eaisier for them & incase they get hurt! :) That is the nature for wild horses. They will travel in herds to not get hurt or because maybe they get lonley. Horses are very smart but need to be with other animals of their own kind.

Also, for geese, they will fly in packs in a 'V' shape as it is more efficient on the wings as they fly in each others slip stream and take it in turns to fly upfront.
If one is ill, three will always fly away to land as two fly in front giving the ill bird the slip stream.
