We used to have a horse at the barn I ride at who was TERRIFIED of any men. We had to ask them to stay out of sight when we rode, or Cody (the horse) would take off! He absolutley loved any girls/women though. He would trot right up and itch against my side, but as soon as any man approached, he shyed. We do know for a fact that he had been abused by a man, chained by his nose to a tree! (some people.....errr!!)
So the poor guy had a right to be skittish!
