Oh I so miss Red - Trojane.
Even in the herd situation where I agist we still manage to have horses with dependancy issues.
A new gelding has just arrived at our agistment centre and had virtually no experience previously with other horses and hence formed major dependency on a very old horse in the herd. When this horse was stabled he would try and force his way into the stable and would attack other horses and act aggresively towards humans trying to come near the stable. When moved to his own stable would scream and carry on.
Over the fast few weeks he has now switched his affections to a pony and is slowly settling. But when the owner wishes to ride their pony we need to put him in a roundyard as he follows around the arena.
Am watching this thread with much interest.
