I planted a bunch of young hemlocks in different areas in my pasture last week. I let the neighbor guy run his horses in my pasture. He has little kids that play out there too. Last night, found every one of the trees uprooted and thrown off to the side. These trees are only 2-3 ft. tall and shallow roots. There were no teeth marks, no needles nibbled off, etc....in other words does not look like horses did this. My question is does this sound like the work of horses, am I missing something?

I don't have my book handy but I think hemlock may be poisonous to horses as it is to humans. Re: Socrates.

that's the Hemlock weed, altogether different from the Hemlock tree.

Question one: No, it does not sound like the work of horses.
Question two: No, Your third statement indicates you didn't miss anything.
By 'little kids' I suppose you meant human children. IF you meant young goats the results can be the same. The trees may be in the way of a game or they're weeds to be removed and the children are (in their mind) doing you doing you a favor. The mission in life for goats is to eat sprouts.
The lack of teeth marks say not horses. The plants still being intact says probably not goats.
Kids will be kids either way. :)

Can't speak for your specific situation, but every tree in my pasture that I want to stay there.. has a baricade around it.. horse and cattle are hard on small trees.. no question about it..
