Some horses are ..

Exactly how tall are you?

And by the rules, Mario is human, and therefore Medium. Mario can ride on Yoshi. Therefore, Yoshi is Large.

Some horses are .. and I don't think all Horses are large, just the War and draft-type horses. i don't think a Light horse should be large

The Monster Manual clearly points out that all types of Horses and Mules are Large animals. Only Ponies are medium animals, small horses under 5 feet tall at the shoulder, and they're mostly ridden by Small Humanoids.

I? I'm a teenager (13 years old). Less than five feet tall. But the only time I rode a horse (NOT a pony) it was 5'6" at the very least - and that just at the shoulder- and closer, I think, to 6' or 6' 3". It certainly was as tall or taller than many -if not most - adult women and quite a few men. And some breeds, like perchero, are easily 6' at the shoulder. That, I admit, is a Large animal. But horses (even without considering ponies) range from dog-sized (miniature horses - Small) to Percherons (Large), including some Medium breeds. Just, the more commonly used ones in the medieval/fantasy world are the Large breeds (they're sronger).

And, Ponies is just a convenient game term. "Ponies", if it refers to any horse under 5' at the sholder, refers to a lot of breeds that are really horses, not true ponies.
