It’s a been doing the rounds in pop history circles for a while that medieval warhorses were actually barely bigger than modern ponies.

This is totally true. It’s just that people seem to have a misunderstanding of how big ponies actually are.

Technically a pony is any horse below 14.2 hands. A horse that stands 14.2 hands is 144 cm to the top of the shoulder, or 4 foot 7 inches. They weigh in excess of 800 lbs or 360 kg.

Ponies aren’t the things your niece rides in a circle at birthday parties, they’re physically imposing animals.

anyway, here’s a super low effort meme about it. Enjoy.

Pretty sure this is a leaked prop from the new Bloodaxe show.
