lonely horses in paddocks

How sad :( Although a lot of people use sheep for a companion, a horse that has recently lost an equine companion probably isn't all that impressed and I can't say I blame him. Even if he's not rideable, perhaps the owner would be able to give him away to someone who simply wants a horse to be a companion for a lame or older horse? I don't know whether he is just in the paddock 365 days a year now, but if that's the case, surely it doesn't matter how tame he is if they can just get him there somehow? I'm pretty sure if he had a companion he would settle back down again. My horse is very easy to do but if he's left by himself he goes absolutely crazy, horses are just not meant to be alone and it can break their spirit. He's not acting out of meanness, he's just unhappy.

If he just lost his horsey friend, he might have felt left out even with other horses. A friend of mine just get her 3 year old back from where he has been running around with a herd of other young stallions; he has been at out stable for 2 weeks now and he is still missing his friends. She thinks it'll take him 2-4 more weeks before he stops moping and becomes a bit more lively. For some older horses it can probably take some months. Is there noone who can do some basic traning with him? Giving away untame horses isn't easy or safe.
