As wolves are and hunt as pack animals, they will look
at an elk herd and can pick out the old/weak/sick elk to take, so I doubt
they would take on a healthy horse with a human on it. Of course, I would not be
able to explain that rationally to my horse.

attacking and killing humans. Gives me the creeps just to think of it. Thanks
to wolf introduction we now have them in the mountains surrounding Boise. The
horses are very afraid of them too. I know there are no documented cases of
them bringing down a horseback rider but I can't think that any predator with
enough guts to take down elk can also take down a full grown horse.
