Better hope PETA doesn't get wind of this. They'll outlaw hooves.

Glad Mr. Bennington survived the ordeal unscathed but shook up. He must treat his animals with a lot of love for them to come to his rescue and risk their lives for him. What's really amazing is that all the horses came to his rescue. He must have a big heart. Maybe PETA will now see that hunters are not anti animal or rampant thoughtless killers but I doubt it.

Attacking coyotes?
Not just attacking, but leaping to attack, then being met by a kick from a valiant steed?
"My horse Scottee wheeled around and kicked him dead center."
A horse would have kicked at a coyote with it's front legs so it could see the attacker.
Sounds like BS to me. At the least, wildly exaggerated.

Im looking at these east coast coyotes in a whole new light.

amazing
horses saving a life crazy
this story doesn't seem that fake to me

after seeing how coyotes swarm i could believe it

Yotes have attacked people before, when they get into packs they will do anything they think they can get away with. I know a few people that run dogs at night that have had to climb a tree or hoof it back to the truck because a pack of yotes was after them. Horses "strike" with their front hooves more or less to keep their enemy at bay, not as a means of seriously injuring something. Horses are very capable of kicking with extreme accuracy with their hind legs, they have far more power back there too. If you have ever watched two stallions fight over a mare they will bite and rake with their teeth or wheel around and kick with their hind legs. There is a video on youtube of a horse getting branded in a holding pen. The man doing the branding was standing to the side and slightly to the front of the horse, just like you see in wester movies. Anyway that horse got his hind leg over the board and kick towards his front and side sending the man to the hospital no doubt. Look it up, horses are deadly with their hind legs.

Seems far fetched, but I know first hand coyotes will stalk a human. 2008 Deer season here in O-H-I-O a friend and I were sitting on the ground deer hunting roughly 150yds apart when he signaled to me to look to my left, when I did there was a yote 20yds away running through the fence line I was sitting in. When he got through we watched him run off into the woods a few hundred yards away. About 30 seconds later he popped back out and slowly walked within a 100yds. of my friend and stopped dead in his tracks. So my buddy sat still hoping it would come within bow range, when all of a sudden the yote took off at a dead sprint right at him. When I seen this I looked over and I see my buddy jump straight up and take aim when he did three more yotes were behind him within kissing distance of him. Fortunately when he jumped up he scared the dog $hit out of the 3 behind him and they took off. It may have been mistaken identity but if you seen it with your own eyes you would think differently. Anyone who hunts coyotes in OHIO should come to Miami county to hunt them they are like rabbits!
