Yes! Horses are still pray! In the USA wild horses are hunted by mountain lions! It has been known that horses have faked injury to lead the preditor away from the herd and then at a safe distance run like hell! They do this to protect their young! The predator sees them as a weak and easy target and stalks them! That's why horses are so well adapted to living in the wild and why they spook at things we find harmless!
