Coyotes pose little or no threat to lone adult horses.  They are of some concern with brand-new foals if mama is not alert, or if one gets down and debilitated, as they are opportunists, but they aren't really big enough to take on a healthy horse.

A few weeks ago our friends said they saw coyotes in the horse pasture we didn't think much of it but yesterday and again today their were three of them theirs about 12 horses kept at their house(4 are ours) and our two endurance horses are kept in large corrals by them self's so they can have free choice hay.their is also an old mare who is stalled due to an injury.I assume the other 9 that are out together would be fine as their is safety in numbers but does any one know if the coyotes pose much or any of a threat to the "lone" horses?
