Would it make you feel better to know that horses bias very heavily to the flight side of fight or flight?
Yeah but they're real good at injuring themselves and those around them when they do.
Until it gets a leg stuck in the tent somehow
The are so heavily biased into running away that getting their legs stuck is a common way for them to lose a leg.
What the GP gets wrong is on the assumption that it's safe to be near a horse trying to run away.
But that's a brown horse. I've only ever seen white horses fly.
Yeah, but what if it flies into the tent and crushes me
