Hi,
. . . not the huge and fierce warhorse I expected to see.
Well, until he kicks or bites me, I can't speak to his temperament. But I don't see anything wrong with his size. Assuming that the guy riding him is about six feet tall, that horse is about 18 hands -- and that's a pretty big horse in anybody's book. Compare that to a Clydesdale (the Budweiser horses).
Looking through the horse breeds of the world, I can find only draft horses that are that big. All the riding horses are three or more hands smaller. That horse is almost too big to ride and more suited to hauling wagons.
