Don't be so sure it was just genetics.  But I could see your point
because if this is a learned behaviour, then the foal could possible
learn this from the mare, too.

My mare hasn't bit me since, which is good thing for her, isn't it?

As harsh as it may sound, a horse who to me would be incorrigible - 
unrelenting biting, kicking or striking - which in my book constitutes
clear 
and deliberate ATTACK - if I cannot sort it out or geld/spay it out,
Lord 
knows I would never BREED That thing - those animals (and people for
that 
matter)should be immediately and permanently removed form the gene pool
:). 
For those who cannot be "rehabilitated" to a safe AT LEAST disposition,
well, 
there are places in Utah......which beats EATING my daughter, as one
mare 
did. Some other idiot wanted her, knew what she was like, took her
ANYWAY in 
a swap - and the mare was listed as deceased at I believe 8 years old.
She 
probably attacked one too many people or horses and either got attacked
BACK 
- or shot. She was an incorrigible - attacked EVERYONE - people, horses,
even 
her own BABY! WHEW! Of course an animal like THAT NEVER belongs in
company 
and so ended our hopes of making this athletic mare an endurance horse. 
Someone would have shot US!
