Miniature Horse Mauled By Pit Bulls

The Bexar County Sheriff's Department is trying to track down the owner of two pit bulls after the animals killed a prized miniature horse.

Miniature horse breeder Jeremy Beale said he found the horse, "Smokey," lying in the corner of his pen last Wednesday.

"He was breathing through a hole in his neck," Beale said. "His neck was completely full of puncture wounds. His muzzle was covered in puncture wounds."

Beale said he's worried the dogs will attack a child.

Beale said he's warning his neighbors in the Cooksey Road area near Loop 1604 and Highway 87 to be on the lookout for the two pit bulls that killed the 200-pound horse.

"They mauled him," said Beale. "There was no trying to eat him or anything -- they just chewed him up. They completely ripped off one ear right at the skull," he said.

Beale said one of the black pit bulls had a white chest and legs. He said both dogs appeared to be well cared for.

Beale said that Smokey's owners have offered a reward to help track down the owner of the pit bulls.
