Story of a hero horse
A few years ago, on a farm in Streator, Illinois, a 14-year-old bay horse named Scottee proved to be a hero when five coyotes marked his caretaker for an attack. Robert Bennington, Jr. was visiting his brother's Old Moon Farm one Wednesday a few years ago, which he did every morning about 8:30 to feed the family horses. His own home was just down the road. Within the blink of an eye, five hungry coyotes were suddenly rushing towards him up a hill from the farm outhouse. And that's when everything happened. This horse that was so gentle and easy-going that he worked at a children's camp during the summer, took off at a frantic gallop and planted himself in front of Bennington; rearing, whinnying, kicking and stomping the ground like a mad, wild stallion. Bennington was shocked to see this aspect in Scottee's personality and even more amazed when three other horses; namely, Danny Boy, Levi and Codee, approached and helped to form a protective circle around him. Then another horse named Blue joined the group, ready to defend the line and join the fight. He told the press: "I have seen cows do this to protect their babies, but never horses."
