The statistics above are for a typical riding horse, called by some a “light horse.”  Some horses are larger and heartier, bred for labor such as pulling plows or carriages. These horses are called “heavy horses” and gain the advanced simple template, a bite attack, increased hoof damage, and can be specifically trained for combat with the Handle Animal skill.

Horses stand 5 to 6 feet tall at the shoulder and weigh between 1,000 and 1,500 pounds.
