I've only met one really mean horse but he was abused from the moment he was weaned off his mom and turned that way.
When I got him he was 22 and skin and bones so I kept him inside and fed him good hay and cooked grains for five days, dewormed him twice and then took him out to give him some exercise on the line asked him to circle raised my right arm up and he attacked me.

I have never seen an old horse move so fast, ears pinned back, eyes rolled back and neck straight out he knocked me down while trying to bury me with his front hooves while I was rolling around then stopped as quickly as he started. I got up slowly because I thought he had broken something stood and leaned on him for support, it was then I noticed he was shaking because he thought he was going to get a severe beating for that little episode. I received fair warning he would do this once in awhile so it wasn't really his fault. I scratched him on the wither and said you really are an old prick and then he let out a sigh which means in horse language I'm not going to get beaten.
