The main instinct of a horse would be the flight instinct. Because horses are prey animals, they are always on the alert for any smells, sounds, and sights of predators.
When a horse is spooked by something, whether it be a predator that wants to kill, or simply a plastic bag blowing towards them, their first instinct is to run first and think later.
Another instinct is the herd instinct. Horses are naturally herd animals, which is why you must provide your horse with another animal for company (Cow, goat, another horse, etc.). Horses tend to stick together in a herd for safety, company, warmth/cleanliness, etc. If you separate a horse from a herd it has grown up, it may become distracted or call out to it's friends because it is apart from them.
