Good luck and Happy Riddle-ing!
HOWEVER, WE ARE LOOKING FOR FEET, NOT HOOVES SO THERE ARE 36 HUMANS AND ANY HORSES HAVE THEIR HOOVES OUTSIDE AND THE FRONT OF THEIR BODIES FACING INTO THE STABLES. TRUST ME TO THROW A SPANNER INTO THE WORKS.
Also this can be played with a lot. If there are 2 men (4 feet), there would be 17 horses ( 68 hooves) . For each two men more you have, take away one horse.
