That happened to me with a mare once. She would have liked to do me serious harm as soon as she looked at me, and I never laid a hand on her or treated her poorly. She just Didn't Like Me At All. She would corner me in a paddock and then turn her butt to me and kick, and once she ran me through the fence.
