We had 1 horse in with the sheep and now the horse is gone!!  I saw him 
actually pick a full grown ewe up by the back of the neck and THROW her 
across the field.  He didn't like to share the hay or feed, and  was 
pestered by the lambs.  I was terrified that he would stomp the babies on 
purpose.  And, a friend of mine is nursing a 3 month lamb with a broke front 
leg and gapping neck wound because her horse done the same thing!!!
