A horse's first instinct, if scared, is to flee. That is why horses have such long legs; they're built for speed. That is also why horses bolt. Horses in the wild, live out in the open to see danger coming so they can get a head-start. Horses have eyes on the side of their head; to watch for danger. Horses generally sleep standing up, so they can be prepared to run. A horse will only try to fight if cornered. : )
