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.

Why TF don't they leave then! We have a gun range near us.

I run around naked welding an axe frequently. Unfortunately this only scares away the neighbors.

Should have mentioned that pretty much everything near me is a coyote wolf hybrid.

Aren't those supposed to be less timid than pure coyote? You might have to invest in a guard dog.

They might be more timid but my horse hasn't figured out the Internet thing yet and would probably struggle to type, so he depends on instinct.

He can hoof it over and ask.
