I've seen Fjord horses, which are neat and yes, big pony-sized. (And have crests instead of manes, IIRC). I'm probably thinking of later-developed Belgians and whatnot as coldbloods.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Cute Icelandic horses -- trying to imagine fully armored type people riding these guys. But the armor from that era isn't the same as the later knights with the Great Horses, right?

Cute Fjord Horse pics with the crest and the stripe down the back onto the tail, too.

Picturing Karl Urban riding one of those horses, wearing, for example, his Rohirrim armor from Lotr is amusing.

I'll stop now. But Fjord foals are the cutest thing EVAR. Now I really really want a pony.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
They just got a Fjord up at the barn (his name is Finn, and I made a lot of Dead Parrto jokes). He's damn cool-looking. Kinda short and squat, with a giant heat. And his mane is light with a black stripe down the middle, all the way down the length of his neck.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If this was the inspiration for Pathfinder, they're obviously planning on using this for the sequel.
