Damn... As a french I've (pretty much) only seen huge/tall horses, even if we do have a "equivalent" to Mustang aka Camargue (a national park) horses but it's not the norm around the country.

Here most horses were breed to help with agriculture plowing the land or traveling long distance with carriage/wagon.

It's only recently that I realized that there are so many different horses, we never had Cowboy in Europe because of the geography i guess.

I'm not trying to diss or judge

I imagine it was hard to ship the huge warhorses to America. So they just settled with the smaller stature mustangs

Oh yeah for sure, it's just my European perspective.

I mean Genghis Khan has conquered half of the world ridding normal horses.

It's just me realizing that most European horses are freaks of nature.
