...tales blur the line between the superrealistic and the gothic. In "The Gift Horse's Mouth" by R.E. Smith, a rancher's wife has to cut off the head of a dead, possibly rabid mare that had bitten her daughter.

The animals, a stallion and a mare born in the Bronx Zoo and a mare from San Diego's zoo, are rare Przewalski's horses. Discovered in Mongolia a century ago by the Polish-born Russian army colonel for whom they are named, Equus przewalskii is the only truly wild, totally undomesticated horse still left on earth...
