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.
