Town baffled by deaths of 22 horses

Authorities are considering everything from poisonous weeds to a lightning strike to explain two incidents this month that have killed 22 horses and have residents in the ranching town of Calhan on edge.


Could have been weirder. Could have been 23 horses.

Why horses? I understand cows, but Horses? Maybe they are breeding the perfect species for the 4 horses of the apocolypse?

Actually, the livestock mutilation phenomenon in the American Southwest began with the mysterious death of a horse.

(Not that this latest incident has anything to do with "cattle mutilation" -- maybe it's just an uncomfortable coincidence.)
