Bolting (equine)

Bolting, when referring to equids, generally refers to two equine behaviors, both undesirable:

  • Running away without control.
  • Eating food at a dangerously fast rate.

However, there are other meanings as well. For example, in Australia a bolter is a racehorse that wins at long betting odds.
