Wow, that is something I never considered as possible. I guess I'm glad I'm terrified of horses. I should carry those around just in case I see this happening even though I don't have allergies
It's not so much a horse issue as it is an allergy issue, and those are specific to the person. You can have a severe reaction to pretty much anything, and you don't know ahead of time unless you've been allergy tested for some reason - you'll just have a random exposure like mine to horses, and find out the hard way.
I'm guessing the person with the epi pen had an allergy to something else and was carrying for that; saw me and decided to intervene with their own meds.
