Oh, and I didn't have a state education, until college. I was homeschooled, my dad used to be a history teacher, all the history books I used, he made sure were credible.
So your father being a punch bag in highschool or mocked by his fellow college students or whatever made him untrust state education is a proof of your good education. You wouldn't recognize logic if it came out of bushes and kicked you in the nuts.
Just curious: Are you a member of Great USA Nation?
No, he wasn't a punch bag, he was student body president in highschool. But im not going to argue that with you, who realy cares how popular he was? Back when he was teaching state education was actualy a good education. But, my education makes no difference, I have valid points, and that's what matters. And Ya, im from the USA. Why would it make a difference anyways? Im not one of those ones that look down on everyone else. I am somewhat sorry for getting so pissed off at Tibertus, I shouldn't have started cussing like i did. I apologize.

- We still have remaining equipment that was used on medieval horses. It fits pretty well on a fairly normal-sized modern horse, so they may have been a little smaller or a little larger, but not signficantly so. And, of course, there's also such things as actual horse bones.
- We have the bones of people who lived back then. They were slightly shorter, on average, than people today, on average. Most of this was due to the nutrition they received, as most of them were peasants. If you haven't taken a look at it yet, read this.
This is how we find this stuff out: either we dig up the bones by ourselves, we research primary sources, or we read reliable secondary sources.
As far as the topic of this thread goes, the answer to the question seems to be: no. There are no mods where the horses are larger. It might be possible to make the riders smaller, but such a mod does not seem to exist right now.
All you have to do is look at the evidence, they had big horses back then. Weather they used them in battle, non of us can prove. But, this post isn't about that, it's about weather or not we want we would like big horses in M&B. If you don't want them, this isn't the right tread for you. It seems that it isn't posible, so, really this thread is usless for all of us.

And that (as well as the following posts of WereWolf and General Alexander), ladies and gentlemen, is why recruits have such a hideously bad name around here (not saying it's deserved, since there are a few recruits who are actually quite ok).
Being a recruit has nothing to do with you're knowledge of history. Everything I have said, has been using logic, or credible sorces.

Ok...my question wasnt answered....all of you that thinks horses were small: Whats the point in having small horse? Why not have some big warhorse that crushes enemy much more? Why do you think small horse can be more effective? And about what do you said "people are posting without sources"...everything that was said about horses are too small in mab is purely logical...
Exactly, What's the logic in their statments, we've shown that big horses lived back then, If you're a rich knight/king, why not have one? For them, it can't be to big of a problem to hire a trained breeder. Anyone still argueing against our point, oviously fails to see the evidence.
