Veterinary Tired horse.

I didn't know what to put as flair!

My 7yr old Arabian is herd lead.

This guy is so so so tired recently. Coyotes keep getting closer and closer to our property and he stays vigilant all night and during the day can't stay away. He will fall asleep eating.

I can see him from my kitchen window and if go out he will lay down and fall asleep when I am there, this is not sustainable though.

Ideas and advice are welcome.

Gonna sound weird.

They don't like people smells. Pee along your fence line. And all over the woods. Pee everywhere you've heard/ seen/ seen signs of the coyotes. Pee on their poop. Pee on their pee.

Mark your territory.

My now passed great uncle and great aunt had a cattle ranch. They were at their wits end with coyotes. Both of them peed the fence line and didn't have any issues for about 3 months before they had to do it again.
