Re: [RC] Horse mauled in park by mountain lion - Patricia GriffinThere was another attack on Saturday night in Page Mill Pastures. There are about 250 acres and 80 geldings in that pasture. The lion picked on one of the older horses and apparently the horse was mauled very badly and the prognosis is not very good. It is the third attack in about seven days within a couple miles of each other. I have a gelding in that pasture and am tempted to move him, but I wonder if I'm being overly protective...

At one time Stanford had closed this area to the public and had armed guards at all the gate openings..... John, can you enlighten us?

Channel 13 news just reported a horse mauling by the Alpine Trail or "Dish Trail". I'm not sure of the condition of the horse, but officials are asking the public not go out alone on this trail. Be careful:) Micki Turney ==================== We are talking about all the tools we can use to keep our horses safe and alive at the rides. Training/conditioning is one of the best tools available. It makes us better horseman and women, it benefits our horses and could quite possibly be the key to preventing most crashes. ~ Lisa Salas - The Odd Farm ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ==================== ============================================================ Of course things aren't perfect, perfect doesn't exist on this earth. Doesn't mean we won't go on trying to get better at what we do. Besides, if everything was perfect today, what would you do tomorrow? Slamming each other doesn't get anything done. ~ Dot Wiggins ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ============================================================ It is how we "feel" deep inside that matters, cause each of us knows the truth, regardless of how we try make it complicated. It just isn't. ~ Frank Solano ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
