Horses are very perceptive and can easily adapt to their surroundings in order to help them survive from one day to the next. I see it this way.
Horses see hundreds, possibly thousands of people throughout their lifetime.
I expect the horse, as a species, has simply chosen the latter. Much like we might do if we were visiting a foreign country. Somewhere in the middle of the herd structure are what I refer to as passive leaders. These passive leaders are usually very quiet in their day to day activities, and as a result, begin to gain the confidence of the other members of the herd. Because horses are passive and quiet by nature, they will naturally want to spend more time with the individuals in the herd that cause them the least amount of stress throughout the day.
