[quote=@Guilty Spark] [quote=@WilsonTurner] Neverheard of "Khal Drogo." Less like that and more... Well, not that brutal, to be honest. He looks more like a rugged man- if scarred and hard- that's really heavily muscled, and unusually tall. He's, well, evil-looking and I'm not taking the race of giants as a literal race of massive people, but more as a label for the massive plainsmen. That man you sent a picture of- he'd be squashed. Declan could pull a plow that a horse would pull, or have trouble pulling. And regardless of what you think of that guy, he's a human- and a horse would most certainly win tug-of-war. And horses aren't used to [i]ride[/i], silly people, they'd be crushed! No, they're more like dogs- but they breed some of the best horses evar. [/quote] There is so much wrong with this statement I cannot fathom it. To summarize, you don't know how horses work or how tall people work.

[/quote] His giant isn't so much tall like traditional giants as wide like a bodybuilder, I think is what he's saying. And if his char is extremely heavy from the muscles, he might be right about the horses, unless they're special huge giant horses - [url=http://www.horsesciencenews.com/horseback-riding/how-much-weight-can-a-horse-carry.php[/url]545kg horse to carry comfortably 109kg of weight.[/url] There's another article citing a Japanese research team that said a max of about 29% of horse's weight for their breed tested. So if his char weighs more than 200kg which seems quite likely, then our usual standards of horses won't be able to carry him and move easily.
