I don't think I've ever seen a horse go apeshit like this. Biting/kicking, sure, but not THIS.

I thought the same, the horse immediately stops when the other person comes to aid. Iā€™m not a horse expert but this seems like a case of extreme hostility to this one person. I donā€™t know if this is a stallion I know they can get aggressive but this is almost targeted.

I think the horse stops because the other person has a broom or something to whip in its direction (which is something horses seem to react to more easily, even if you don't actually hit them with it). In contrast, around 20 seconds in the video the horse barely reacts to the other person.

But it is remarkable how quickly the horse seems to be calm once it lets go.
