The duck sized horses would win without contest. Strategically placed kicks and bites to the duck would have it down onto the ground in seconds. Once it’s on the ground it would be a simple clear up job for the horses.
If the horses are dark and attack at night they would also have a good camouflaged advantage.
We could also selectively breed midgets so they are small enough to form a mounted guard to ride the horses – then they would be unstoppable.

if the duck went hyper the stomping on the relatively huge feet would take out so many of the horses they wouldn't know what to do
but the fact they have number counts for shit when they cant do anything to the duck.
- their bites wudnt penetrate its thick leg skin which wud be about an inch thick when horsesize.
-their kicks wud be like a cats kick like when they grab u and bit and kick but a tiny bit more painful, also the horses have to turn around to kick thus are vulnerable during attack.
-the duck cud jsut lift off and land on the repeatedly.

Im with the horse sized duck on this one, the foot span alone could crush a couple of duck size horses in one step, he could fling them for car lengths with that beak.
And just think of the size of the eggs, not in battle (unless the duck plans to sacrifice its young in the name of battle) but for our food

naw, 1 wee shorse could do nothing to the duck, so like, all the duck would have to do is swipe his big webbed feet and flatten about 10 mini horses with one blow.
it'd be a one horse race

the wings on the horse sized duck are obviously going to be big and strong enough to throw any small horses such a distance that on landing all their bones will break.

another thing to consider.. what if the battle is to be faught in space..? the zero G battle would only have one outcome.. the duck sized horses would win because they can attack the horse sized duck from all angles at one.
and regarding the spinning bird kick, of course a horse sized duck could do that, as the angle of its feet is 90 degrees from the upward position of the duck, so thus when the duck flips 180 degrees the feet would still be perpendicular, and thus not creating very much air resistance. all that however is beside the point, as the main concentration of the attack is reasonably high off the ground, and duck sized horses could easily dodge such an attack.
