the horses don't realize their value, and are in fact still horses. they do crazy things. i remember reading about man o'war galloping madly about his paddock and the manager telling a worker to do something about it. he asked something along the lines of 'like what?' what are you going to do, wrap them in bubble wrap and keep them cross-tied? have four people constantly surrounding them?
danehill was on a lead calmly munching grass when he reared up, going over backwards and suffering a fatal injury. they're horses first and foremost. things will happen.
