Probably because you used an autofocus setting, so sometimes the camera will meter for the horse and sometimes for the light source.

I've found that the way to shoot fireworks is to focus manually on where you think the explosions will be and leave the shutter open long enough for the explosion to happen; around 1sec.

Some nice shots there, I like fireworks
