I have a fab 11yr old cob, he is a gentle sole but with some character ... I have only had him since Feb and is my first horse.
He is currently on a diy livery. Initially he shared a field with 3 other horses but they moved, he didn’t like being on his own, he was then introduced to another pony which he gets on with.. but this pony is going away to get backed.
He gets anxious if he’s in the field alone and will call and pace... but eventually settled somewhat.
Do you think he’d eventually settle alone if left or do I need to think long term about a companion for him x any experience with horse anxiety and overcoming it.
He is fine stabled on his own overnight
