Throw Food
You keep a safe distance from the wild beast... Its gruesome whining makes you shiver.

Reconsider
You don't want to waste precious resources on this stupid horse... You back down a few steps.

You throw it some meat... You don't really know why... But to your big surprise, the wild beast rushes to it and begins to chew! It finishes the whole meat in a matter of seconds, licking the ground where the meat was... Seemed to like it...

Throw an apple (Requires 1 Fresh Fruit)
