Meanwhile, back in the stone (or is it equine?) age of the original NEX-5 and Canon FDn 100/2.8... ;-)
So I climbed over a fence:
Barbed wire by specularist, on Flickr
Because I saw a bunch of these:
Horses by specularist, on Flickr
And hoped they'd come closer, then almost immediately regretted it, as I was obviously out-numbered and out-gunned if they turned angry! I quickly googled "how to approach a horse" and so announced my presence, avoided looking them in the eye, backed away as soon as any approached - this guy seemed to be the pack leader:

Conclusions - manual 100mm isn't easy with moving targets, FDn 100/2.8 is prone to CA but pretty sharp, and never approach a bunch of wild (probably not, lol) horses without a smart-phone and a clear route to your escape close behind you!
