What is a horse mixed with a moose?

Yes, both bull and cow moose are capable of killing or seriously wounding a horse. There have been many stories by cowboys that raise cattle and ranch up in northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia that have had run-ins with moose when on horse-back. One would think that a horse can out-run a moose, but this is not true. A moose can easily keep in stride, and even gain on a galloping horse. When in reach, a moose will rip that horse apart with its hooves to the point where it (the horse) gets so wounded that the cowhand has to put it down.

The only way a cowboy can save both his horse and himself is if he is able to shoot-down the moose before they have a chance to attack him or his steed. Otherwise, moose will just keep attacking until there's nothing left to attack.
