I'm always open to learning new things so would like to know exactly which airborne predators attack horses. If they can bring down an animal three to four times my size I may need to reassess my own personal security.
Hello burroughs,
No idea why anyone puts the cork back in a sherry bottle, it mucks up the recycling.
Ref the horses - just different experiences I suppose. They don't seem to be bothered by aircraft in my experience - both here and now I recall in NZ where there was a stable alongside the airfield I used. But I wish to make no arguement with you, my post was only to say what I did - the horse thing did not help the case.
As for lead - I made my comment earlier.
I'm not local, so probably shouldn't be chipping in.
Full disclosure - I fly a light aircraft, and I might benefit from the airfield if it were to be created - I have a relative who lives nearby.
I'm no expert in equine husbandry either, but I've seen enough horses down these narrow country lanes to know that they don't like loud noises, things that are out of their sight line and lead pumping airbourne surprises!
As for no airbourne predators. You might want to put the cork back in the sherry bottle.
