SeanyTheSailor Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 why is autoplay against the rules now?Pictured: Tripsis' lady parts. No, knights used horses because they are larger and aren't bred for little girls to ride through flowery fields. Run away! They're bearing down on us!

Kata_Phfract__the_slayer Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 well ponies are not bred "for little girls to ride through flowery fields."they just filled a different evolutionary niche, where being smaller was more of an advantage.its understandable knights used horses, men allays think bigger is better. btw if I may point out, this could go on forever.

Because being ridden whenever someone particularly small gets bored is just as good as being depended upon and trusted as your master rushes into a mass of men who's sole thought is to kill him.

Tesset Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Real life ponies don't have the physical size or strength to do a lot of what medieval horses were required to do. Knights in full armor weighed upwards of 300-350 pounds, sometimes more. In addition, the horses had to be able to ride 20-30 miles in a day with that weight on top of them. Hard righting and fighting is even more strenuous. The stress on the horses was bad enough that breeders in the middle ages had to breed horses specifically to be stronger, because the older generations simply couldn't carry the additional weight. This is, in fact, where a lot of breeding originated. And, no, ponies didn't originate as a result of natural selection. Man created ponies. If I had to guess, I'd say it was for children to learn to ride. My skin is finally getting softI'll scrub until the damn thing comes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Observer Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Ponies are mostly for younger people to ride since horses tend to be too big for the average young girl/boy. But obviously as you get older you have to ride a horse because the strain would be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesset Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Of course they are. Most horses today probably extend from medieval warhorses. If you were a male horse in the middle ages, and you were capable of carrying a knight, you got to have sex with a lot of ladies. So a lot of them were born. Edit: Well, ok, not warhorses specifically, but from the same genetic lines that warhorses came from. Warhorses didn't get to sire a lot of foals, I'm fairly certain.

SeanyTheSailor Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Pictured: One of those enormous horses I mentioned @Tyler, not necessarily, some horse breeds come from other parts of the world, obviously by name, Arabians for instance. Who were kept small, just because Arabs conducted war differently, and it would be darn near impossible to feed and water a large number of European-style horses.

SeanyTheSailor Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Horses are rather fun to ride, I hope to do so more one day. If I ever have money I might own a couple. I was able to ride a horse once, where I had very minimal control, someone was always holding a rope, but I could kind of steer it around.

SeanyTheSailor Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 My mom told me my dad had that problem once when they went riding I guess. He was giving it gentle kicks, afraid of hurting it.
