Is there some innate drive in horses that makes them competitive ? It would seem reasonable for colts and stallions to try to lead the galloping pack, to act the male leader, and some certainly seem happier as front runners.

Interesting question. I came accross this bit of info:

Over time, the horse has evolved into an animal whos basic survival instinct is to run.
