I watch the horses eating hay.
I have round bales and generally there are 4-6 bales for 8 horses. They normally eat in buddy pairs or 3′s so there are always empty feeding spots.
However, when one gets pushed out of his spot, he stands a few feet away with head down as if there is no more food available and he will starve in all likelihood.
Another indication of their ability to accept defeat even when their desires are being threatened or denied.
