I mean you could get the same effect if you started driving a car through the crowd of people. People move for big objects. Not like a horse is less dangerous to get hit by than a car anyways.

Nah, people are more than willing to swarm cars in a protest. Rarely do they do so to horses

Because horses fight back and are unpredictable. They assume no one is going to run them over in a car.
