I don’t think you could kill a horse in an open field without a long distance weapon. It’s a flight animal, if you did any significant damage to it, you’d never come close enough to get it to fight you. Enclosed spaces, that’s a different story (you still lose that, it’s a horse).
Nah, we min maxed for this already. I mean not me, I’m terrible at running. But I imagine if you go back far enough one of my ancestors was good enough at long distance running that we could eventually chase that horsey down and bang it in the head with a rock when it’s all tired out.
I think the more important question is, can a horse prep? Like does it even understand the concept of prepping? I think if you could somehow tell a horse that a week from now it would have to fight a human it probably wouldn’t do anything to prepare.
I did riding as a kid quite a bit and I don’t recall ever seeing a horse put it’s own shoes on. In fact, I regularly cleaned the shit out of theirs and they just stood there all high and mighty.
One even bit me once. Like a nibble. He liked me but I something pinched him while I was opening the girth (had to look up that word in English lol that doesn’t happen often).
Horses are generally just so terrified that if you were given a basic weapon of some sort, with some range, preferably a spear (I’m assuming guns would be kinda op), you could take down a horse without much trouble, imo.
Haha now I have an image of a horse in a department store dressing room berating the staff, “excuse me sir, just because I’m a horse does not mean I want to dress publicly!”
The idea that a horse could prepare is kinda whack. What is it gonna do? Get to an open field?

Put sharp shoes on, prance around celebrating your imminent death.

Yeah but it’s a bit of a ridiculous premise isn’t it? So I leaned into that.
Maybe you’re right. They’re probably just shy about where they dress so I never saw.
