Horses Who Save Lives

Typically, humans are the ones caring for horses. But once in a while, you hear a great story like this, and you realize that horses help us just as much as we help them.

Mr. Bennington was alone on his farm, feeding his horses, when they suddenly appeared skittish and took off running. He turns around to find a pack of hungry coyotes snarling and preparing to attack. Mr. Bennington was alone and unarmed, and convinced he was about to die. Then 4 of Mr. Bennington's horses formed a circle around him, and pushed him tightly into the center while they protected him. The coyotes made several lunges at the horses, only to get kicked in the face multiple times. Every time the coyotes thought they found a hole in the circle, the horses would shift to protect their owner and defend themselves. Eventually the coyotes ran off whining, and Mr. Boddington was safe.

What an incredible story about horses!
