The contest continues, just because the Cavalry Soldier has switched
skills it does not reset the AP.
[See basic rules for Extended contests]
So though the Cavalry Soldier may now have a better skill and the
advantage of the horse he still only has 8AP and the
foot soldier has 33AP. So it is unlikely that he will be able to just
brush past him in the one round unless he bids really high.
PS a heroic healer would stand a chance in such a contest. She could remain calm in the face of insults. And talk him into a non-violent solution. Just my opinion of course.
