This game is crazy hard... I came from Dark Souls. But this wow it's all about getting good it seems.

I met that Lady Butterfly, and she destroys me in a couple of hits :( I did get the guy on the horse eventually by running around like a headless chicken :p Sometimes grappling him can get you a few extra hits in and try blocking as much as possible.

And now there is this bull just trampling me to death rofl. But it's still fun :)

I'm sorry but... GIT GUD

Its a steep learning curve I'm not gonna lie.... but you realise almost anything in this game can be parried, and multiple parries leads to a posture break and successful kill. What cant be parried must be jumped over or jumped away from. That's the essence of the Sekiro combat system. There is only a health and posture bar to manage, with unlimited stamina to help you out.
You must be aggressive, getting in hits between parries, putting the enemy on the backfoot, giving you the edge by controlling the flow of the battle.
Parrying involves pressing the right mouse button a little before the enemy makes contact with you, so its a timing game for sure. You wont be 100% successful at parrying in the beginning and the game does not expect you to. In the beginning go to the trainer at the dilapidated shrine and free practice with him for an hour or so. Nothing is better than practice to git gud.
At the end of the day, this is a souls game and excessive dying is guaranteed, infact that's what you're paying for!
Remember, you can die a million times, but you only have to win once to make it through!

you just have to learn how to block, the same thing happened to me, I tried to dodge the attacks but it is not effective.

Funny thing: I've started the game with similar opinion. Now, after couple of playthroughs and NG+(+)s I'm having fun playing charmless which is even HARDER. It'll grow on you.
Also, that is the FIRST boss on a horse which is considered the easiest.

Short answer, parry.

Long answer, the game is designed around a four trick system.

Parry,
Mara Kiri
Dodge
Jumping counter

Once you figure out the sequence that every enemy (Even grunts.) do to utilize this system, the retaliation becomes easy. In terms of horse man? Just parry him, push the corresponding button it says to when you parry him and get the hits off, parry, do it again etc. The fight after is the same, parry it, but you risk being burned if you fail the parry. If parrying or timing is difficult for you, then fret not. The devs put a safety measure in for people who cannot get timing proper. Spam the block button and the parry will be automatic. (This does not work with demonbell/charm on second playthrough.)

You need to have proper upgrades/tools to make is easier. If you really are struggling go watch fighting cowboy, he helped me on my first fromsoft game demon souls and it helped me understand that fromsoft games seem hard but you can get things/upgrade to make it easier.

FightingCowboy is great his videos helped me 100% BloodBorne and Dark Souls 3. But then again on a first play I'd like to just explore and try to beat it with only minor hints.

hard at first. Hard to learn easy to master. Or something like that.
Really satisfying once you fall in lave with the combat.

You can have so much fun making cool fights with so much rhythm. Almost like anime battles but that will take a while ;D one step at the time.

that boss is actually pretty easy if you have the skill that lets you grapel enemies and attack. if you do you just stay away from him until you do so, get a hit in after then run away and rinse and repeat. the boss after him, hah, good look. He's a straight up wall for me every time i start a new game, no idea why but he is.
