Clearly, it was running with its rider, it stumbled on it—what a stumble.
عَثَرَتْ — it stumbled. A past-tense verb 'stumbled' in the feminine-singular form, agreeing with the mare as a female-treated subject. The feminine ending here matches a real female animal rather than a non-human plural. It turns the scene from running to falling, the pivot of the image.
