Probably not too well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persistence_hunting

There are documentaries of wolves and wild dogs hunting large prey by chasing them until the large prey is so exhausted and overheated that it collapses.

Of note - the most important reason why a human would win the horse (and other animals), is because a human would carry water with them.

The water is useful mostly because we sweat.

Do you think horses don't sweat ?

There doesn't seem to be as much consensus on the case for persistence hunting as there once was.

The only people who persistence hunt still are the people who didn't find a better approach. Be it that they don't need a better approach (which is fine. Means they're optimized) or that they simply spend.so much time hunting that they don't have the excess time and resources to experiment with new approaches

[gadders]

I also think it depends on the environment. I can imagine ancient humans persistence hunting across the plains of Africa. I have a harder time picturing it in rain forests or the forests that used to cover most of Europe.

And once you learn to drive big game into pits, most of the other options seem less efficient.
