Horses can be unpredictable. Several years ago, we had a 23 year old police dispatcher killed.
She was riding a horse down a road, approaching a railroad crossing while a train approached the crossing. Instead of stopping when she pulled the reins and letting the train pass, the horse panicked and bolted for the crossing.
