I got chased by a horse on a century -- it got spooked as a big peloton went by it's field and it jumped the fence. It split the ride - people behind it were afraid to pass it, and it was all I could do to stay ahead of it. Two guys braved the gap and caught up to me. "Ughh, ma'am, not sure if you know this, but there's a horse behind you."
I caught up to another rider and sat behind her for a minute. As we approached a hill, the horse started gaining on us. I called out, "Horse back." Finally, it ran off into a field.

No spikes and no Roman outfit... unfortunately, that would have made sooooooo much better.
