Got me wondering, a suit of plate armor and effects could weigh maybe 120 lbs + say a 180 lb male warrior = 300 lbs which is about what this short cunt is weighing.

This doesnt complete my comparison, I know nothing about horses and comparing medieval horses used by knights versus the cow transport here.

I also know nothing about horses, but I imagine the answer is that they broke a lot of horses and didn't care.

well, there wernt many knights back then as the number of horses that could handle such a weight was probably very slim.

also, why use armor if you are on a horse? maybe arrow protection but i would have thought most "knights" were the jousting hit and run type. i cant really think that there were a lot of super heros that would ride in in full armor to jump off into a melee fray.

in either case if there were super armored dudes on horses riding into battle, its for a very short burst and also that horse is in their prime and probably wont ride into another battle.

They were special horses, too: destriers. Destriers were stronger than regular horses, and built a little differently, so they could carry the extra weight. Just like you wouldn't hitch a racehorse to a plow, you wouldn't take your basic riding horse into battle or ride one wearing your armor; when you wore armor you rode your warhorse, which was bred from other warhorses for that specific purpose.

(There were a couple of different types of warhorses, but what they all had in common was extra strength.)

Fattina there isn't riding a destrier, though, she's just abusing some poor normal horse.
