These animals are similar to light horses but are trained and bred for strength and aggression. They usually are not ready for warfare before age three. A light warhorse can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds on a Ride check.

Carrying Capacity A light load for a light warhorse is up to 230 pounds; a medium load, 231460 pounds; and a heavy load, 461690 pounds. A light warhorse can drag 3,450 pounds.
