The main predators of wild horses are mountain lions (cougars), wolves, and occasionally bears. Horses are fairly large prey animals, so their predators must also be large, or work in packs, in order to take one down.

Are horses prey?

Yes! Horses are still pray! In the USA wild horses are hunted by mountain lions!

The predator sees them as a weak and easy target and stalks them! That's why horses are so well adapted to living in the wild and why they spook at things we find harmless!
