They very well can. However, if your horse is in a large feild with a few other horses, they will protect each other and run from the coyote and most likely escape unscathed. However, in a small pen, the horse has no where to go and will likely be injured, either by the coyote, or from his attempts to escape.

Only if the fox causes the horse to spook into or through an object such as a fence, or if the fox has rabies and transmits it to the horse via a bite. Otherwise No, a Fox is no compeititon for a horse.

The coyotes diet is varied. They are scavengers. They will eat dead animals, berries, fruit, pet food, mice, rodents, small mammals, birds, cats and dogs. Coyotes will raid your trash can.
