The coexistence of horses and wildlife is usually peaceful, but farm owners should be aware of the potential dangers that wildlife can pose to their animals. Some types of wildlife can transmit diseases to horses, while others might attack while looking for their next meal. Fortunately, cougar, wolf, and bear attacks on horses and smaller equines are extremely rare. However, individuals managing horse farms should be aware of potential wildlife threats in their area and make a plan for keeping their animals safe.
