Horses are the natural prey of several large predators and it pays them to be a bit hyper in this regard. And as much as I love them, they are a bit stupid, anything scary-looking to them is dangerous,

∙ 15y agoHorses are prey animals and have a instinctual flight response. This survival instinct helps keep them safe from predators. Unfortunately when startled horses react the same to a blowing plastic bag as they would a mountain lion!

∙ 12y agoIt depends on the horse... Some horses are scared as such little things such as plastic bags, but others won't be scared of anything because they are what we call 'Bombproof' where they are trained to not be scared of things.
It depends on how jumpy the horse is(:

Will horses run back into a burning barn?
I have heard that horses will run back into a burning barn and I believe it! When a horse is scared it will run to where it feels safe. It knows the barn as its home and may run back into the very place were there is danger because that is the only place that it knows. So horses must be secured where they can not run back into the barn to prevent the chance that this might happen.
What would a horse do if it was scared?
He will often pin his ears against his head and toss his head. His eyes will widen till you can clearly see the whites. He will stomp snort, and even try to run.

If a horse is afrid what is it first instinkt?
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. : )
