Do horses cry..comments

Your question has brought tears to my own eyes as I was instantly brought back to the day one of my horses died. I had two horses that were 6 years old and had grown up together. The surviving horse witnessed his dear friend pass on, and once he was left standing in the pasture alone, did not call out for him as I expected. Instead he hung his head and while I stroked his face, he cried very real tears.

Of Course horses cry! This creature is driven by emotions, and crying is part of emotional re-balancing. Horses cry from nervous exhaustion when trapped in pain!? Or fear!
Their inner cry from separation is the saddest sound I know. I can say…. My Rusty was teary when he was fed up from a huge belly ache and gave almost up during a cold winter, maybe he cried for him or for us, because I was and he didn’t wanted to leave Nanaimo.
I feel that higher intelligence makes a horse more expressive in his emotional expression. Bigger hearts, bigger emotional bond to life.
