A Whonnock resident is worried about her horse after it was attacked on Sunday at about 3 p.m., near 272nd Street in east Maple Ridge, near Whonnock Lake.
Crystal Mudry said on Facebook that her horse was attacked from the rear and that its hind quarters were ripped open on one side, while there were deep puncture wounds on the other.
“He was lucky. Sadly, I think the cat is still around my property,” Mudry said.
She said earlier that day that her animals were uneasy and were staring into the bush.
“It was obvious something was bothering them, so they were coming in at night. But this happened during the day.”
She said that her horse is on the mend, but her sister said one wound affected a ligament.
Conservation officers were called to the scene and it’s not yet certain what animal attacked the horse.
