Just a quick video I uploaded today to explain when to use your horse and when to sprawl:

Nice video, I've subscribed and watched nearly all of your content.

I like the use of the forearms as a level matching wall of sorts, we do a lot of the same in our Hung training.

Excellent. Well done!

Constructive and wise as always.

This clip remind me a Judo guy grabs on your jacket and you keep punching on his head.

The wrestling "single leg" may work well in a non-striking environment. When striking is allowed, it's just too risky.

When you try to use "both" hands to get your opponent's leading leg, since both of your opponent's hands are free, you have to take a lot of unnecessary risk. If you use just one hand to take your opponent's leading leg and, use your other hand to deal with his arms, you can reduce your risk much more.

Actually its not that bad other than its a bad shot with no penetration or set up, the forearm shield is a good defense when they shoot hi and from a long distance without setting it up correctly |(ie they aren’t wrestlers) , training level changes with your strikes is a good idea, trying to hit a guy on the way in without stopping his momentum well thats another matter
I disagree with the video though where it says the forearm block is better than the forklift defense though, its all about distance and height: if the guy shoots from a mile out and shoots high shielding with the forarm as you match his level (with or without an underhook) is a good idea, if he shoots high but from a closer distance a level change with double or single underhooks pick up (forklift defence) and turn off is a much better defence because you wont have time or distance to create a bridge/shield with your forearm . The faking and throwing an overhand can be an issue but if you level change correctly your hands protect your head until you dig for the double unders and by that time he should be in too close to hit the overhand
And if they shoot low correctly or set it up right (which was not done in that video) you have to sprawl

I like it. Have used same technique a time or two. But yeah, if a wrestler gets a hold of you, a sprawl is the way to go. Even then, as you said, if he is faster, you are going to the ground.

One criticism though, you said horse stance, in actuality you are not using Ma-Bu as one of your feet is point at the opponent and your hips are at a 45 degree angle. You are in fact in Sì Liù bù, not Ma bu
