Due to the riggers of training on the animal spelling is one of the most important times i reckon .
If they can get back to being a horse is fantastic, The problem is they are expensive animals so we tend to seperate them & box em up because who wants a hurt horse.
Horses are mainly herd animals & such have a pecking order which they sort out when together & thus can lead to bites & kicks but the plus is
You get the horses head back to where it should be not some frizzy burt out weaving thing with a bad attitude.

I was surprised at how they turned horses out down-under. You would see top-level stakes horses just out in the paddock with others with bite marks on their faces and body. It was hilarious, but the horses sure did seem to be having the time of their lives.
