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.

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. Horses also need a nice cosy shelter, e.g. a stable, and preferably a field for turnout, which also has a shelter in it. Horses need exercise too. This can be done in the form of lunging, riding or being allowed to run free in a school or alike. Also, horses are herd animals, and thus do not like being left alone. It is better to have them at a yard with other people's horses or get them a companion yourself, for instances another pony, or just a pet such as a donkey or mule. Horses need lots of time and hard work too, so do not be a horse owner if you are limited on time. They need to be checked regularly for bumps and bruises, wormed and checked to make sure they are not ill. The owner takes responsibility for lots of the horses things such as feeding, making sure they have water, mucking out, grooming, exercising, turnout, training ( if younger horse ) and other optional things depending on what you use your horse for. Horses are a big responsibility and the time needed to look after them should not be overlooked.
