Any dude who thinks he can beat a horse is just so wrong. I don't think anything bigger than a bug is possible. I would feel too bad lol
Depends what counts as winning. If leaving the arena counts as forfeit then I reckon I could beat a horse cus I don't think a horse has any desire to be there
If you get prep time surely its easy? What is the horse going to do, I can just make a few spears and set a stick on fire to wave in its face to scare it.
Imagine doing it. Stabbing a weapon into the panicking animal while trying to not get kicked. The blood from the wound makes the weapon slippery and hard to hold...
Could you really? You make it sound so easy, like the people who have not taken a life tend to.
I mean a horse is certainly bigger than anything I have had to kill, I will give you that.
But I went with spear because it's typically the weapon of choice against cavalry, it gives you distance reducing the chance you get kicked. You can also place multiple spears around you to protect your location, or make traps and scare it into running into them.
