Actually, Selene, I think I was quoting the post which quoted your post, but
as is my habit, I removed as much of the extraneous stuff as possible, so
that all involved would know what I was talking about, without wading
through a bunch of excess punctuation.

Given the later commentary, which you likely haven't gotten to quite yet,
about both the expense of horses, and the attitudes of the English towards
those weird Germans and such eating horses, do you perhaps wish to change
your mind? One thing brought up on Equine List was that donkeys tend to be
more warm area beasts, while horses tend to be more northern/cool area
beasts, so a horse too small for an adult to ride might very well fill the
same economic niche as a donkey does- in short, a beast of burden, rather
than a dietary item.

I'm asking, dear- it really does seem more likely to me that the small horse
is merely carrying foodstuffs, rather than being one.

 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
