No solution as there is not enough information.
Question is too missing too much information: Feet exist on both Horses and Humans. We do not know if it only includes horses feet or just human feet. Also for each count by the machine, does a horse + rider count as 6 feet(both rider+horse), 4 feet (horse only) or 2 feet(rider).

The number of heads each human and horse has is in parity. The combination of horses and riders has to equal 50 but human quantity has to be a smaller number since the combination of human and horse feet is 170; horses have twice as many feet as humans and riders without horses don't count.
I am probably missing something though. Just like wild horses @savvyplayer seems to be trying to break my spirit by randomly invoking no solution problems. I want to believe there should always be an answer no matter how absurd the question seems.
