Image: https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net...ad&oe=5B13B100 Stalker cam set up last night, he does lie down!!! so the big fluffy bed is helping but he was only down for 70 seconds :( He seems to be guarding all night as he goes back and forth from the door to his window. He dozes taking turns facing the door and the window to his neighbor. I can see he is trying to sleep as he goes all blury eyed then wobbles as his is drifting into too deep of a sleep. IMO it seems to be that he doesn't feel safe :( what can i do to try and improve this. Has anyone else set up a camera? how long do your horses sleep for? At present he cant move stables. when he is turned out over summer with a herd of 12 he still doesn't really lay down.He inst a sociable horse, the opposite really, he like his own space but at the same time absolutely cannot be turned out alone as he just runs around looking for another horse, understandably. Would a mirror be helpful for this type of horse or would it be pointless as the horse in the mirror will be lying down when he is lying down so no one would be guarding him. What else can i try? Id like to try and move him so he had an actual neighbor but this isn't possible at the moment :(
