the 3 F's
Flight- run away
Fight- attack the thing its scared of
Freeze- freeze dead on the spot.
if your horse chooses to freeze this is generally because they have a good relationship with you and truse you. when a horse freezes it is looking to you for guidence and support so talk to it gentally and stay calm.
is your horse runs away stay calm keep talking gentally to it and slowly ask the horse to stop don't pull to harshly or shout at the horse as this will scare them futher and one last thing don't cling on with your legs this will make the horse go faster.
and again if the horse chooses to fight just talk to it and remain calm until it realises that it is nothing to be scared of!
hope this helps :) xx

For Howrse it's answer is Flee.
Horse will Flee
A horse's first instinct when frightened or startled is to run away. The second instinct is to fight in order to protect itself.
First it will flee.
A horses first instinct when fearful is almost always to flee first and ask questions later. In some cases though the horse is attack, but that is not common.
