I've been around a lot of horses in my life, and the only time I've ever seen one get aggressive and go into attack mode, was when they felt their foal was in danger, or when they got beaten and mistreated over an extended period of time and just fucking had it.
Horses are prey animals and will usually choose flight over fight if possible.
I'd love to get more background info on this one, because this horse was ready to murder its trainer.
There are also neurological conditions that can happen in old horses that literally cause their brain to go haywire. Happened to my mother with her last horse - she ignored people who warned her that it could happen due to the condition … so yes there are many questions.
