    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.
