I still don't think a bear is faster than a mounted horse though. It's just hard for me to imagine a bear beating the speeds of , for instance, mounted horses like those at the Kentucky Derby. Can't picture a bear circling the track anywhere near as fast as even a mounted horse.
Most horses aren't thorough bred race horses tbf
It would also depend on the terrain. If you were on a clear trail on a horse you'd probably be ok. On uneven or foliage dense areas that bear is munching you or your horse.
