Upon noticing others trying to help destroy the markings, there will be a brief moment of calm from the horse, as if whatever rage that has possessed them has momentarily disappeared. The rumbling of the volcano will also cease and it will be quick to resume trying to destroy the remaining markings. It's a silent but notable sign that the horse recognize it's being helped, and that perhaps this is something that must be done.
However, this respite won't last long. The area the markings cover is large and strangely, the markings are not easily wiped away—they must be practically torn up from the ground for the blood has seeped deep into the dirt. As more of it is dug up and broken apart, there will be sudden tremors and lava will flow through whatever new cracks and holes that appear. The fire horse will be quick to try and help and protect those around it, using its own abilities to either push the lava back or take it on itself, making it grow more agitated and aggressive as a result. The lava flow won't last for too long and will eventually recede, as will the tremors—faster if they openings are sealed up somehow. But the fire horse will run off and disappear somewhere, screaming in rage once more.
It's reasonable for anyone who does this to recognize that 1) the markings of the old ritual need to be removed, but 2) need to be careful because doing so is setting off some kind of trigger, perhaps a defensive or just a consequence for some reason or another. So a step in the right direction, just with some hurdles to go along with it.
