Yeah I'm guessing that would still kinda hurt...
Kool-Aid wasn't a man; Kool-Aid was an anthropomorphic pitcher...Hawaiian Punch was a man, sort of...
It's multitasking at it's finest!
Kool-Aid Man is a name. Man in this case is not a descriptor about sex or species.
What a nasty critter.
I can't disagree. But neck a bottle of liquor and anything is painless!
Unfortunately, he's right in this case. I should have done my homework. I'll be wearing that pointy hat while sitting in that chair over in that corner if you need me for anything...which is unlikely...
He may be right, but I stand by my comment....!
Oh, please do not misinterpret anything I said as negating your comment...
so, apparently Knights rode horses the size of ponies . that has comical repercussions for so many movies and TV shows.
Big massive horses were only used for joust tournaments, and only very late in those knightly old times. They only had to go from A to B in a straight line, so didn't need the nimble turn ability of smaller ponies. The nobility also liked looking impressive on them.
However, for warfare, a fast and quick-turning horse is the way to go. We limit our horse size to 16 hands, and even that is too large. Best size is around 15 hands, even less.
Sthey are saying evidence shows just over 14.2 hands or well under 5ft was on the upper most end for war horses.
would make so many visuals for shows hilarious. braveheart's inspiration scene would have probably been on a tiny looking mini horse. the expectation is just so far removed from what the reality was... nobody would believe it

Sounds about right. It’s also interesting that most knightly or princessy characters ride Friesians, Probably because they are impressive. It’s a 16th-17th century breed though, so a bit weird for a Viking warlord or whatever to bumble about on.
Andalusians are maybe a better choice, as these at least are from the 15th century onwards. Still, not a pony for King Arthur and his merry men.
