BROWNFIELD, Maine — A horse was attacked in a fenced pasture in August by an animal, possibly a bobcat, bear or mountain lion, and was still recuperating at the vet this week. Meanwhile, the farm owner where the horse was boarded is trying to raise money to pay for its care.

The incident occurred Aug. 20 somewhere between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., said Jennifer Marie Coen, whose farm is located at 266 Farnsworth Road in Brownfield, where Robin, a 17-year-old quarter horse, lives with 20 other horses. The farm is on 30 acres and is surrounded by state land.
