Yeah but if you have prep time, you can make a massive spear and thrower (I forget what those are called), an able bodied man could probably take a horse with one of those.
I don’t know anyone (who is not already a professional in this) who could make a spear in an hour. Best most would do was to get a couple of injuries while trying to make a spear.
With enough prep time, you can purchase a shotgun. More than half a pound of lead pellets will bring a horse down if it’s delivered at the typical velocity.

There was no time limit set, with an hour, yeah, no chance unless you do this regularly.
Javelin?

That relies on somebody elses prep time, so, I don’t think that would count.
