That's one reason why a certain amount of training should always be done 
alone--you don't want to have a horse that is herd bound or dependent on 
others.  Yes, he may use some extra energy worrying about being alone since 
it is a relatively new thing--but what a great opportunity to get him out and 
further his education!  That's a part of what this is all about in the 
beginning anyway...
