In a bear market, being short is NOT a bigger risk than being long, but the ride is choppier and more volatile on the upside and downside. Bear market rallies can be killers. But that is what stops are for: to take profits and prevent big losses.

Your analogy of a wild stallion is accurate. Timing is very important.

The easiest environment to make money on the long side is a low volatility one where stocks move up to the right with little anxiety.
