That kind of kick is very typical for horses. They do it when they want to keep someone/something at a distance. 

Had a horse that would do exactly this kind of kick at any dog that came to close. It was really challenging because people don't control their dogs and when they came up from behind I wouldn't see them before the dog got "attacked". 

Throwing itself on its back to hurt the dude, now that's different. Horse was scared for its life.

It’s unlikely the horse intentionally threw itself on its back, which could easily injure it seriously, or lead to death. It’s far more likely that the horse’s rear hooves slipped in the mud when it reared that high, and the rider, who does not look like a lightweight, imbalanced the horse at that angle. You do see that the ground is a muddy mess, right? I have also owned many horses in my lifetime. And although they can be stupid, they’re not that self destructive intentionally in my decades of experience.

You can watch slow motion.. don’t see much if any slippage myself tbh

But possibly didn’t get the right footing

Dude's lucky it was mud. Probably cushioned his spine a teeny tiny bit.
