Wild or unbroken horses are pretty easily coerced in to going whatever direction you want if you know what you’re doing. If you try to tie a rope around their head and pull they’ll fight you, and you’ll lose. If you walk behind them and shake a grocery bag at them, they’ll walk the easiest path away from the sound they can find.
Comfirmed horse experience. Though, saying they would walk… Eh. Maybe you should have said “sprint headlong into the most dangerous thing they can find” for real confirmation.
I’ve seen them to that, I guess maybe there’s some finesse to it, but for the most part in my experience they’ve just kinda trotted away from the sound of the bag. Maybe a scamper, but the full gallop I’ve only seen them do when they were really spooked.
And yeah, they tend to run directly at an obstacle when it happens.
