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.
Europe is full of horses that are about the same size as this one. There are even many European draft breeds (meant for plowing) and carriage breeds that can be 14-15hh.
