This is going to be a 4 or 5 day journey to Mirabar, correct? No point in exhausting ourselves when we've got multiple days of travel in front of us through potentially hostile territory.
Can one of the more nature-inclined in the group determine direction, distance, and perhaps a determination of whether it is a single horse or more than one?

If we want to get up earlier or travel slightly late, Grom will be using the Light cantrip as needed.
when we stop to make camp grom would gather some sticks and wood for a fire.
"lets not over extend ourselves on the first day of travel, at least untill were more sure of what is out here..."
DM Note:
before setting off Grom will consult his wizard formulas and replace message Cantrip with Prestidigitation
Cantrip Formulas (Special) You have scribed a set of arcane formulas in your spellbook that you can use to formulate a cantrip in your mind. Whenever you finish a long rest and consult those formulas in your spellbook, you can replace one wizard cantrip you know with another cantrip from the wizard spell list.

Off in the distance you hear the whinny again, a loud snort, then nothing... you pause and wait, but you don't hear anything more, nor see anything beside the landscape.
Dawn breaks as you all attempt to figure out what made the noise... but you don't see or hear anything else. Seems strange.. but there doesn't appear to be anything around but the part and your horses.
Shake comes out of hiding and sings quietly to himself:
It must have been wind But it's over now Lay a whisper On my pillow Leave the winter On the ground I wake up lonely There's air of silence In the campground And all around Touch me now I close my eyes And dream away
It must have been wind But it's over now If it was a horse then we lost it somehow
After he mumbles to himself, "No that's not good. Nobody wants to hear a song about wind."

Alten votes for making camp and setting watches.

The party makes camp and sets watches...
All is quite through the night.. towards sunrise though you hear the unmistakable whinny of a horse off in the distance...
Shake votes with Alten, "It's been a while since I road a horse for this long. I wouldn't mind calling it a day and setting up camp."

Definitely not nature based here, but if someone can figure out a direction Rees can sneak ahead and try to see what's going on.

It's coming from the northwest... the direction you are traveling...

Shake goes up to Rees and tells her,
at cunning!
nobody's ever gonna hear you coming.
You're the best
at cunning!
nobody's ever gonna hear you coming.
at cunning!
nobody's ever gonna hear you coming.
Rees is inspired for 10 minutes.

"It stopped.... seems like they're waiting too," she says softly.

Shake will try to hide himself in the surrounding grasses (or anything else he can find) to the northwest, between the sounds and the party.

Wanting a better look, Rees will try to sneak forward toward the other horse to see if she can figure out who or what it is.

Noticing Rees disappear, Arxius moves out of the firelight and crouches down, readying her bow.

Shake comes out of hiding and sings quietly to himself:
But it's over now
Lay a whisper
On my pillow
Leave the winter
On the ground
I wake up lonely
There's air of silence
In the campground
And all around
Touch me now
I close my eyes
And dream away
But it's over now
If it was a horse
then we lost it somehow
