I assume it is sense 4 of "take on" at http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/take-on
"to compete against, oppose, or fight"
"to compete against, oppose, or fight"

If my understanding of what you wrote is correct, it means: to be willing to stand up to (in attempt to overcome or to defeat) the headless horse.

Here is another example (where I see it most often). It is generally a one-on-one combat.
Nottingham’s Froch, who is also WBA champion, said: “I’ve no problem getting in the ring with anyone on this planet. If Godzilla wants to fight me that’s OK, I’ll take him on.
