    The idea that a horse could prepare is kinda whack. What is it gonna do? Get to an open field?

      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.
