I do and if I was without a vehicle, yeah it would be extremely intimidating. But if I was driving an APC, or a Tahoe / Suburban a cowboy on horseback wouldn't intimidate me in the least. Not to mention knowing how vulnerable horses are. Yeah you can shoot the radiator out of a vehicle and it'll keep going until it overheats and dies. Hopefully enough to get you out of the danger zone. You shoot a horse in the leg, or in the chest and the horse isn't going anywhere. I know because I've had to help moving horses that were shot, or had broken a leg. As strong and powerful of an animal that they are. They still aren't a match for high powered rifles, armor, or heavy vehicles.

No I wouldn't take on a horse if I was in a Honda Civic, but I'd have little fear in the vehicles that the BLM was on scene with.
