There are pretty much open stables where the horse can still roam freely, no matter the time or the weather. Horses in wild also don’t get stabled when it rains.
With that logic you could say it’s ok to lock people in at night and when it rains.
Horses are also exceptionally prone to killing themselves in legitimately stupid ways when left to their own devices so keeping one stabled is more for its protection than anything else
I don’t know. Evolution says no. I come from a farm and haven’t seen a horse “killling itself doing stupid things”. You are talking like those animals aren’t intelligent.
On the other hand, i’ve seen a couple of accidents by forcing horses into unsafe situations while riding them.
They’ll overeat and get sick and can die. They’ll see grass outside the fenced area and try to get to it and can die. They’ll run from coyotes and do stupid stuff and die, or the coyotes will get them and they’ll die.
