Humans act the same way.... think about it...
You're in the mall, all seems OK, but a bit of unnerving hustle and bustle,
and a few too many people around, you're on high alert. Then
suddenly there's 100 people burst thru screaming and running for the
exit, you have no idea why. Do you stand still in the middle of it minding
you manners, following the proper fire drill/emergency exit procedures
you learned decades ago at school? Or run like h-e-double hockey
sticks for the exit with them?
We, all creatures, act on our emotions before our
training. How can you fault a simplier being for behaving no better than
we humans do?

Very good question, Melissa. I think under those
circumstances, training can only go so far. After all, horses
still have brains, emotions and minds of their own. How can you
"train" emotional reactions and adrenaline out of ANY animal or
human, for that matter? They would have to have lobotomies prior
to this in order to behave like "Stepford" horses. Look at how
many seasoned racehorses have still attempted to climb right out of the
box. I saw a mare that broke her own neck on a barn
wall, just because something spooked her. They aren't the most
rational of beings.
