What do horses do when something goes wrong?

When something goes wrong, horses often display instinctual behaviors such as fleeing, freezing, or exhibiting signs of stress like snorting or sweating. They may also become agitated, displaying nervousness through movements like pawing or pacing. In some cases, they might seek comfort from their handler or other horses, showcasing their social nature as they look for reassurance in a tense situation. Understanding these behaviors is crucial for effective handling and care.
