Really an impossible thing to quantify. Even the calmest horses can panic at the oddest things. Our riding horse gets spooked by just about zero, and he absolutely flipped out the other day when a dump truck started backing up and the "beep beep" was going off.

It is truly a chaotic atmosphere and you never know what will happen, I wouldn't put too much stock into it either way.
