Your horse probably was abused during training by a man.

as lesa said this mare was probably abused or scared by her former owners. feel proud that she has picked you to trust. it takes time to teach a scared horse that you are a friend

she could have been abused by men or if he is scared of her then she will be scared of him. Horses can sence when someone is scared or tence. anger doesn't help either. If he spent some time with her so that she could learn to trust him then she could learn that he's not going to hurt her.
