Hi i would just like to share my story and hopefully make people aware of what can happen, we own 3 horses and have had horses for a long time. In August of this year we turned our 12'2 pony out in the field that he normally went in, in this field was about 5 gieldings and a new 17 hand horse, my pony was in the field for 10 mins when the new horse attacked my pony totally unprevoked, the horse gripped my pony by the neck and dragged him to the ground before falling ontop of him. the attack took mins, my pony suffered rips to his neck that took 76 stiches, 35 metal staples and a 3 inch by 2 inch depth open wound thatwas 2 big to stitch. Why i m telling my story is that the horses owner was insured and under the animal act should of been liable to pay my vet bills but 4 months on we are still fighting to get them paid due to loop holes, so please be aware that if another horse attackes yours it will probably be you that has to not only suffer the pain of caring for your horse, but also footing the bill.
