I know during a move/transport many animals do not feel the need for food or water......this would not surprise me for a horse to do the same thing a domesticated animal would. Try having a cat meowing the entire time from a trip Cali to east coast, no food no water, even when we stopped. This really does not surprise me though. Most of the time, the animal needs to feel safe and secure before wanting to do anything else. Imagine what happens when you take a horse on a road trip, that has never really been anywhere but home, imagine what is going through that animals mind.
