Horses are herd animals, and thus prefer to be with other horses than be alone. It's the reason that they're herd animals that they will quickly bond with a human when they are alone with that human and that human, being a horse trainer or owner, is trying to gain their trust.

Should a horse be kept alone or should i get two to keep the other company?

Horses are herd animals. They are extremely social with other horses and do not develop as many vices as horses that are kept alone. The only time I would recommend keeping a horse alone is if it does not get along well with other horses. In this case the owner would need to spend extra time with the horse so it gets the socializing that it needs. If you only need one horse and would get another for the sole purpose of company, think about getting a small pasture mate, such as a miniature horse, goat, sheep, or llama. They can be great friends for the horses, but are not quite as expensive to keep.

No, ponies do not like to be left alone. They are herd animals, and therefore should have some type of companion.
