Yes, bears will attack humans. There are many cases of people getting killed by bears. This is really true if there is a female bear with cubs. Some bear species are more aggressive than others, but bears do attack for various reasons.

While some bears can run at speeds of up to 30-35 mph for short distances, it is unlikely that they would catch any horses. Horses run in herds, so there would be a group defense. If it were to happen at all, a more likely scenario would be that a pack of wolves would bring down the horse and then the bear would scare off the wolves and eat what's left of the horse.

Bears are omnivores...

It is possible for the horse since the horse can use its muscular hooves.

If a horse was truly intent on killing a bear, it would first try to knock it to the ground, most likely by kicking it while the bear was standing on it's hind legs. Then the horse would stomp on the bear's head until it either died or moved away.

I was elk hunting in Montana and saw a grizzly come down a ridge where some other hunter had tied his horse way to tight and strong to a blow-down tree. The grizzly with one blow of its paw broke the horse's neck. My partner was with me and we were guiding hunters back in the Scapegoat Wilderness area. Seeing the power of that animal sent chills up my back.

Only if the black bear is really large and has good strength to claw the horse down.

No! No human, farmer or not, could kill a black bear with a knife because they could get injured or killed themselves if they attempted to do such an idiotic thing.

Can a black bear kill a wolf?

Yes, but bears only kill wolves if it is persistent on protecting its carcass and the wolf is harassing the bear. Bears will also attempt to kill or maim a wolf if it is threatening the life of a sow's cubs. Black bears are larger and stronger than a wolf is, which is enough to enable such a beast (the bear) to kill a wolf.
