Yes it does.
In the wild a horse has two options when it is scared. Fight of Flee. Most horses choose to flee. Domestic horses do the same. However if the horse trusts you it should follow you past the scary object or person.
Yes, horses are flight or fight animals. A horse's first reaction to something scary is to run (or flee). However, if he cannot flee, he will resort to fighting. It depends on the horse, some will, some won't. Remember that if a horse reacts badly when its scared, it doesn't mean to hurt anyone. Hope this answers your question!
its first instinct is usually to flee from that person but depends how scared it is if its not that scared it will just bite
Horse will Flee
To run. The first thing a horse will do when frightened is to run. If they feel trapped then they will fight by rearing and by kicking. Its called "Fight or flight". Fight or run. A horse will bolt (run) and can squeal. If a horse is really scared, or has fear, there would be little whites in their eyes.
bolt.
Yes 90% of the time otherwise it might try to defend itself so when you are leading horse the best thing to do is stand near its shoulder so if get scared from behind, it won't trample you!
flee
First it will flee.
flee- they want to get away as fast as they can from what is scaring them. but some horse will flee because they know they can be over powering from the human who is riding them. As the rider you have to know the difference between the two. When they are showing you who's boss, kick them- it will confuse them to death! But you have to be comfortable with going fast, as well as open range, so you both are out of danger. A scared horse, well with my personal horse, he took off on me just last night on an evening bareback ride on a paved road. for the safety of us both i stopped him as soon as i could got off and just comforted him until he was comfortable with our surroundings, and got back on. He was so scared his legs were trembling!
I think it tends to flee :)
For Howrse it's answer is Flee.
