Armin and Gabi catching up with Connie was also a bit odd, considering that Connie had a decent head start. Realistically, he would have gone to Ragako slower, only having a single horse carrying two people, but Isayama doesn't know how horses work so I think the only reason that Armin and Gabi caught up in time was for dramatic purposes. Wait. Since Connie had to take it slow with one horse carrying two people, doesn't that mean it would actually make sense that Armin and Gabi were able to catch up to him, since they each had their own horse and were thus able to gun it?

It would be realistic, but I'm saying that it was likely unintentional realism since Isayama is terrible at understanding horses. In other words, they catch up with Connie for dramatic purposes, not because it actually makes sense (since most readers don't think about Connie's horse having to work harder either).
