Anything is possible if you use you IMAGINATION

Answer 8

Maybe if you break the horse's legs.

Answer 10

what would be the distance?  anything more than a horses stride the man will lose at.   if it were a yard, then the man would know and probably have the advantage.   one stride and they win, otherwise they would lose everytime.

Answer 11

I believe it is actually something like 10 to 15 metres, it takes mr. horsey a moment to get all those longs levers moving.

Answer 12

of course not...  

Answer 13

a trained runner could win a 15yard dash against a horse

Answer 14

At River Downs last year they had one of the Cincinnati Bengals race a horse.  He said he could run faster than a horse, so they set up a race to find out.  The guy won.  However, the guy got a huge head start and the horse had to break out of a starting gate.  Horses don't get into stride and start racing fast until a few strides out of the gate.  By the time the horse could find its best stride, the guy had already crossed the finish line since he got such a big distance head start.  Horses can run 40 miles per hour.  People cannot actually outrun a horse.

A man beat a zebra and a giraffe.
