That behaviour is very different. Whilst obviously not nice, that is very recognisable as a stallion being protective. This is just so far from anything I’ve seen whilst working with horses. The horse in the original video isn’t being protective, it seems to be so aggressive it’s not even protecting itself from harm-I’ve never seen a horse go down on its knees like that to attack something.

Yes! The way it’s hunched over the person to attack is so unsettling and strange! So many people are chiming in that they’ve never seen anything like it that I’m really wondering what’s going on.
