Horses can be spooked by anything at all: Traffic, rubbish on the floor, leaves, other horses, people walking behind them, running up to them, using the whip, lunging, any gaits of riding, trees, roads, anything a tall, but even some bombproof horses are scared of fireworks and most other things.

It really depends on the horse. But a lighter friskier horse is likely to run, put their ears back, go backwards, rear, buck and the list goes on. Other horses turn around, jump amonst other things.

Horses get spooked because someone scares them or something whether real or imaginary. Horses usually react to spooks by rearing, bucking, kicking, or bolting.
