Police horses are trained to deal with crowd control, they're the calmest horses in the world.
I can't vouch for your average field-dwelling, apple-munching nag, mind

Oh yeah totally, they can shrug off a firework chucked in their general direction like it was a water balloon, the irrational part is the horse just taking a general dislike to my presence and just giving me a quick slap. Like this vid but less funny, for me anyway, especially if it was in the face.
Antidotes
Haha, I knew we were going to do that. Police put me on edge anyway but I also have an irrational fear of spooking a horse on the road if I cycle past it and it reacts by kicking me off my bike (in the face) or trampling me (in the face). I didn't want to hang around.
