What is the horse going to do with prep time? What am I missing? This seems crucial.
He could have someone put some armor on, I imagine.
Now my scenario of shooting the horse while standing outside of its pen seems not as unfair. Guess I have to go with the mortar idea someone else suggested.
Is it okay to use the surroundings? Humans are good with this. Also with improvising tools. It’s kind of our thing. (If we take this away, we’ll be way worse but I would get it.) The problem with that is that it’s super hard to measure. I could take on a horse in a jungle, I think, but not in the Eurasian Steppe.
It also depends on the age and character of the animal. I was able to grab a swan by its neck and throw it away because it was barely an adult. I bet it would have been a lot harder if it was a year older and even more aggressive. (This was in self defence of course)
Another thing to consider is the premise. Do I choose an animal and the animal is not aware of the danger? Is it aggressive towards me in the normal range of its species? Does the animal try to kill me with all of its power?
If I hear of people grabbing animals by the neck and throwing them away I’d normally be concerned but if you tell me it was a Swan or a Goose I’m like yeah makes sense, they probably deserve it the aggressive little pricks.
What’s the girl equivalent of this? I’d like to have some conversations with my wife that don’t send her off on list-making/plan-making expeditions or remind her of something she wanted to research on the internet.
“Which one of your friends could you take in a fight?”
Try the same question. Maybe just a slightly smaller horse. Prep-time negotiable.
“What do you want to eat tonight?”
NO
My rule is anything smaller than my knees is gettin it’s ass kicked. I’ve got strong legs and decent form while kicking, and so far haven’t found a creature that size I couldn’t fend off with a good hit. So far that’s mostly meant wild dogs and a goose.
Wild boar has used tusk to knee. It is really effective!
if a wild boar is shorter than like a foot and a half ig I’ll have to grit my teeth and take a stabbing. I’m pretty sure that would have to be a baby or juvenile boar though, and as a general rule I think I can kick any babies.

I mean I’d try, and almost certainly get my leg fucked up in the process. Thankfully, I don’t think I’m likely to ever encounter one in the wild, and I hope that I’d be able to resolve the situation peacefully if I ever did.
Nope. You can’t.
anything smaller than my knees
How big are your knees?
I mean like total volume of creature > height of my knee.
Crocodile?
Damn this is a good point. I’ve never been anywhere where they’d be an issue.
I’ve always heard they’re quite slow on land though, is that true? If so, yeah I’m pretty sure it won’t like getting stomped really hard from behind.
I’m also not sure if I’m counting it if the animal is very long. The technical formula is total volume of animal > height to my knee, so I’d only try to kick a baby to juvenile croc. I don’t think my kicks would do much good to like a 300lb crocodile as long as I am tall.
They can go pretty fast over short distances.
But yeah, you could probably take a baby, assuming momma isn’t around.
Cool if I quote you on that?
As long as you film yourself fighting the baby croc.
I’ve played with them at the zoo. Bitey, but squishier than you’d think. Does that count?
Idk, playing with them isn’t quite fighting them. Did you at least sneak up on them before playing?
just yoink it
A goose? You’re scary!
Every fucking time this is posted. Goddamit, OP, they’ll be at this shit for hours like crows with a diamond ring.
Like beating a dead horse
Think I can beat that one
he better be riding the horse over a rocky steep incline and not actually trying to fight it. why do they go for big animals? I can take a cat. maybe. most birds native to North America.
A cat can be nasty. If it goes straight for your eyes with its sharp claws you are fucked… If you manage to kick it properly first, then it’s fucked. I think the outcome of the fight can really be black or white.
So I assume that doesn’t count condors or eagles?
They really aren’t great in a land battle.
That’s a short conversation for me:
Anything medium/large-dog size and larger, no.
Below that it can certainly depend (like a venomous snake? We’ll both lose. Eagle? Honestly no fucking clue. If I got a hit in, it would be done, but I’m not sure I’d get a strike in).
Unarmed, I think I could comfortably defeat almost any four legged creature that stands lower than my knee.
I want to see you fight a crocodile.
I was very clear when I said almost
Aligator?
Ffff… scrblmlmlblm chewing noises
Just the one hour?
I mean, just to cover the invertebrates part of the list would be several hours.
I’m not going to fight an animal. I’m easily pinned down by a house cat and they’re pretty small.
I grow out my nails for acoustic guitar so I technically always have a weapon for eye gouging. After blinding the beast I’d go after their throat as hard and as many times as I can while trying to keep distance where possible. It would never work on obvious human killing machines like tigers, gorrilas, bears, etcetera, but it might be helpful on a wolf or anything I can get my arms around. I’m getting older and don’t have the stamina for fighting that I used to though so I’ll probably die.
Then no… Hahajah

Maybe one of those giant constricting snakes. Do I get a shiv? If I have a shiv that snake is fucked. I like snakes by the way but I think it would be easy to fight one.
There’s no way a single dude is dropping a horse with their bare hands.
Just wait it out. Domestic horses are good at dropping themselves.
How many dudes do you think it would take?
I say it takes at least 5 average humans to put a horse in the ground without weapons. And if the horse is also fighting to the death you’re losing a couple people for sure.

OP is talking about horses, not donkeys. Also, I hope your donkey wasn’t harmed in the process of getting this information.
I agree with your ass
All you have to do is snap its neck, just jump on it and hang from it.
I don’t think jumping on it while it’s fighting you will be easy at all, unless you’re jumping down from a structure at the right time and have balls of steel
