Solution

When pre-formed antibodies are introduced directly into the body, it is called passive immunity.

Since these antibodies are obtained from an external source (hyperimmunised horses) and administered medically rather than through a natural process (like mother to fetus), it is an artificial process.

Therefore, this type of immunity is artificial passive acquired immunity.

Answer: artificial passive acquired
