That really drives me bonkers. Why don't people try getting their own butts on a horse that size before they write that their character rides one? Why? Why? Do they not have any idea how bloody big that is?

Rant over. ::sigh::

Ah, yes...where is that reference??

The Care and Feeding of a Mortal Mount (http://www.speculations.com/?t=189233)

I read one once where a mule pulled a wagon for about 12 hours straight, in pitch blackness and through mud....Supermule!!
