Is mechanical engineering a science degree?
Perhaps these Exmoors started off as 17.2hh until a farmer rode them?

They ARE 17.2hh, they're just very leggy and their legs sunk in the bogs....

For the most part it is. Subjects like Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Kinematics, Finite Element Analysis, Heat Transfer, etc

Good God. Sounds like physics to me (that's not good...physics was not my forte).

Oh, if only walruses were allowed to study for degrees....I'm off to bed now; I knew eating that second penguin would give me indigestion.
Got a lesson booked tomorrow on my little pony (wonder if I should copyright that name?) and I will report back if she only measures 12.3 hh by the time the hour's up!

That picture is (I am pretty sure) taken from the Exmoor Pony Centre - and is at the top of the lane from me!!

My parents have 2 exmoors, both about 11.3, and they have won alot with them showing, my dad is around 12 stone, and mum around 8. A few years ago they won the ridden pairs championship at the breed show, so the breed society obviously doen not dissaprove.
Our, full up section B's can take 10 stone for flat work.

My Welsh D (cob type) carries 14 stone quite happily.
My Section B X Arab happily carries 11 stone of experienced well-balanced rider for slowish hacks and flatwork.
Personally, I think shetlands/exmoors could probably carry about 9 stone and finer breeds probably about 8. New forests, Welsh C's and natives of a similar build could probably carry about 10 stone and Highlands, Welsh Cobs and Dales probably about 14 stone. But this would the maximum weight of well balanced rider I would be happy to but on a reasonably fit horse with good confirmation.
