Horses thrive on movement, companionship and the dynamics and interaction of a heard. Also, unlike predators such as cats, dogs and humans who find comfort in confined spaces, horses are prey animals and find comfort in open spaces. Traditional horse keeping practices often impact a horse's basic physical and mental wellbeing as seen by negative behaviors such as cribbing, weaving, kicking, biting, etc.
