The horse Lee rode in The Hobbit, Moose (the one they CGI’d into his elk), WAS 18 HANDS HIGH. For those of you who don’t speak horse, that means his horse was 6ft tall to his withers which is the highest point between his shoulders. He actually makes Lee look smol, how is this possible??
I still can’t get over that the elk was a horse and the horse was named Moose.
