Trajectory
Although he is correct about what he says, the horse misses that this is not the only force interaction here. He also pushes on the ground, and the ground pushes on his feet. As long as the force that the ground exerts on his feet > force the cart pulls back on him with, there will be a net force and the cart will be able to move.
