Untamed
Within the deepest jungles, the depths of the sea and across forgotten plains there are beasts who've never known man. They have lived with their fellow beasts since time immemorable so that not even ancestral memories can be brought up. Thus when they meet intelligent creatures who think to lord over them they are confused and frightened.

Fear of the Red Flower (Ex): Untamed horses have a reaction to fire. Those within 60 feet of it act as if Fascinated. Those that come within 10 feet of fire however act Confused as the spell for as long as they are in range and 1d6 rounds thereafter except that on a roll that would have them babble incoherently they instead rush at the fire, potentially being set aflame. Wildfires do not affect untamed horses in this manner.
Feral Mind (Ex): An untamed horse gains a +4 bonus to resist mind-affecting effects.
Hide in Plain Sight (Ex): Untamed horses do not take a size penalty to hide checks while in plains enviroment.
Unafraid of Man (Ex): Though wary of man-like creatures, an untamed horse does not know to fear them. Intimidate checks made by a creature with the humanoid type do not affect untamed horses unless they wield some sort of flame, such as a burning branch. Intimidate then functions as normal.
Uncooperative (Ex): An untamed horse cannot easily relate with man and the DC of all Handle Animal and Ride checks directed at it are doubled. Those that attempt these skills and fail have a 50% of inciting it to attack. In addition an untamed horse is considered Huge for the purpose of escaping a grapple and gain a +4 bonus to Strength checks to break bonds.
