This reminds me of an Arab that a friend had who got loose and tried to jump into a paddock with other horses. It was wire fencing, and she didn't clear it, ended up on her back on the ground, kicking like a madman, wrapping and pulling wire tighter and tighter around her legs. It was horrifying to watch but watch was all you could do until she tired herself out. Fortunately the cuts weren't too severe. I decided that day that Arabs were too flighty for my liking.

The horse I unchained was an Appaloosa about 4 years old. What made things worse (just guessing) he must of been abused by a previous owner who was an adult male. He was gentle around children and grown women but I had to be on guard around him so did any other man. He would try to lure me into dropping my guard pretending to be calm and then a bite or kick attempt would follow. After I saved his tangled butt and nursed his torn up leg back to health he still hated my guts.
