Horses? Pah.
Just wait until you get a big horned bull, with his ladies in the background to protect.
Don't mess with the big guy.

To add some more sensible content horses are weird, unpredictable beasts. All you can do is remain visible, distant, predictable and not take them by surprose.
Not sure if they'd prefer to know you're there because you've used your bell, or whether the noise would upset them.. I guess an unshouty announcement of your presence to the rider (if meant for the horse) might be a better idea.
I have a healthy respect for them after finding out at a young age apparently how much my blond hair looks like hay...
Finally, directly behind a horse is the last place you ever want to be!
Met a pair of horses (with riders) coming the other way on my commute home last night on a narrow country lane.
Just slowed right down and covered my flashing front light with my hand - they moved to single file, and gave me a pleasant "thank you very much" as we passed, and all continued on our way, no fuss, no drama.
That has been my usual experience round here, and I do meet quite a lot of horses while out on the bike generally.
