<div>Horses are quadrapeds (double their portage), and are assumed to have maximum carry. Try your figures now. (I don't have my books handy atm, I assumed 17 Stamina)</div> <div>74 (from below) + 22 Carry = 96, x2 (Quadraped) = 192. No slowing for carrying a NORMAL SIZED adult man with a little bit of cargo (a loaded pouch or two). Slowing occures beyond this point. I've always used this, it was presented (the doubling portion) in a different game (I do not recall which) with about a full printed page explaining why. These giants that often enter PnP will need physically more powerful horses. Apply the Modifying Creatures for up to +100% Str and Sta, reducing speed to 70%. This way, if you are under 400 pounds (with gear), the horse barely notices you. Picking one this size, however, counts as a quality modifier, I would go with cost x5. And reduced availability.<BR><BR><B><I>Scott Adams <longshot@darktech.org></I></B>
