Netter 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I was talking to one of my customers who breeds American miniature horses, she told me she had heard some bad news from one of her friends that lives in Texas, she said that the fella in Texas gets troubled by coyotes killing livestock and off his ranch he has lost 20 odd miniature horses in 12 months, on this day he looked out of his window and saw a pack of coyotes round one of his horses, he ran outside with his rifle and downed two of them and the rest ran off, when he got over he found it was his stallion dead, it was a world champion and worth £45,000 Quote Link to post

Thats gotta hurt. Big fan of wolves but not of coyotes, I think of them in similar terms as jackals and dingos. H Quote Link to post

Bagpuss 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Maybe he should breed proper horses and not man made pointless creatures like that.If its worth that much money he should keep it in the house. Shouldn't he have taken notice when the other 11 were killed?? Rant over Quote Link to post
ghostlyease 17 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Were they falabellas?? was looking into getting some land for my old bosses to breed these a few years ago. They are tiny and indeed a target for wild animals, security has to be at the top of the list if you have these animals. Quote Link to post
