We have mountain lion around here, they say thier territory is 65 miles per lion. they hang out for awhile and then move on. We had one that was stalking the kids bus stop, and they found it dead in a ditch. No one seems to know who shot it. One neighbor wanted its paws but the wildlife folks said it is illegal to shoot one unless you are actively protecting your life or livestock, pets don't count. And then they took it away. Another neighbor came home from work and couldn't get to her house. The lion was between her and her front door. Her husband fired a couple rounds and it left. Its is the scary part of the price we pay to live in rural areas. Thankfully they don't stay to long before they are off again. I hope the horse was ok, so sad to see that. We just hope there is enough other game to eat, elsewhere.
