Bug: Horse rear when riding into 1 person

[Roran]

I stole a saddle horse just seconds ago from a Nord cavalry, slashed at a nord peasant and killed it, but the next guy the horseran into, at full speed, hadn't bumped the previous guy, my horse just reared. I got mobbed and died horrifically later, but was too stunned to think.

The saddle horse reared after hitting 1 person. Is it normal? The bots don't seem to have that problem.

Hmm, did he have a pitchfork, stick or sword or anything? Often the pitchfork will stop a horse directly in their tracks.

he was unarmed, not even attacking
