Horses are dominant over cows. So they will boss cows around, drive them away from the feed source and generally let the cows know whose in charge. This isn't being 'mean' but just being a horse. Some horses have a more mellow attitude about cows and won't make the effort to fuss about them while others will enforce their position as the dominant animal frequently. It won't affect how they treat people and they shouldn't be considered 'mean' if they run the cows around.
