Best Answer

As a park ranger, I have talked to people whose horses have encountered mountain lions. Long before they could even see the cat, the horse was aware that it was there and became extremely nervous, refusing to go any closer. It is reasonable to assume that a horse could panic and run if a mountain lion were too close, potentially throwing the rider.
