Not unusual.  My favorite was a horse at the Witchdance ride one year
when it was *really* cold and they had a big community campfire.  This
was a horse who'd gone off a cliff into a river once and spent the night
by the fire with some backpackers.  He'd learned all about fires.  He
stood facing the fire and I didn't notice him, but walked over and stood
between him and the fire.  He very politely sidestepped so that he could
catch the heat again.  I was surprised to see he wasn't tied, just
standing there with his rope hanging.  Then he turned as if to leave and
I started to catch him, but the owner told me he was O.K.  Turned out he
was just turning around to warm his butt to the fire. :-)
