I don’t doubt your story, but if some deep scratches nearly killed it, it must have been one of them tiny miniature horses
Trust me when I tell you, it was a cat. The horse almost died due to the deep cuts, and the trauma. There pieces of hair, hide, and flesh torn off his rear hips, and from mid back the hips. Im not talking scratches, deep gouged cuts, tears. The horse had to be tranquilized for several days. Wounds cleaned and doctored. Several stitches. A lot of swelling and then an infection set in on one of the wounds. I saw the horse, saw the tracks, helped with the horse. Spent many nights hunting, baiting, and trying to call it in. My friend told me what the professionals told him. I'll know next time to get with the people on here first, they seem to know everything lol.
Well shoot, they should have called you son.
After reading the article, it clearly states they rarely attack large livestock, but it can happen. The cat's intent is obviously to get to the neck, however it would be extremely difficult on a large horse, so they try to cripple it to the ground so gain access to the throat. Their horse had multiple deep scratch marks all along its back, hips. It barely survived. Had the owner not heard the commotion and walked outside, it would have killed it. By crushing its throat. Im sure the warden and biologist, and horse owner who all saw the cuts and tracks, and aftermath are wrong, probably making it up. Sorry I infused a little collaboration with the op, he's probably lying too. So continue on dismantling his story since there are so many experts on here. Have a good day.
