In the wild, they will very wisely run away, if possible. But, a wild stallion may kick back at a predator, or even attack it to protect his mares. Or a mare with a foal may actually attack the predator, usually with front hooves and teeth. Domesticated horses, often penned in a corral or field, have less chance, as they can't flee unless they can jump or break through the fence.

How does the horse hide from the enemies?

To the best of my knowledge, horses do not hide from enemies. Wild horses rear up and defend themselves. They use their sharp hooves to kill or severely bruise the animal, depending on the size/grade of the animal. A good example of an animal that would be killed is a snake. Much larger would just be severely bruised. Domesticated horses would most likely be spooked, kick, and buck. In a stall, the horse would be vulnerable to being bitten, since it would be in an small, enclosed area, it would be harder for the horse to defend itself. If your stables are in an area with snakes or coyotes, you should try to keep your horse out in the pasture, or LARGE enclosed area as much as possible. This will benefit your horse to better defend itself, or give it more room to escape.
