I have some questions.
Is threre a relationship between the size of the horse and the weight it could transport? Could a pony carry a complet weaponed soldier over a lot of kilometers? Or it depend too form what breed is used?
Of course, i hope a little horse will run less than a bigger one, because the lenghtness of the legs. But what about the resistence?
I like very much spanish breeds like Pottoka, Asturcones o Pura Raza Gallega, but there are horses between 120-130 cms. I will not have troubles in use one of them, but first i have to know if i can use one of them for long time traveling mounted.
