Equine Build

Alicorns vary in size depending on their equine heritage. some are pony sized (11-13hh) while others can be draft sized (17-19hh). If a pony size, their human half is about the size of a halfling (2ft). If draft size, their human half is about the size of a goliath (5ft). Despite their size, pony sized alicorns are often stronger than a human when it comes to pushing, pulling, carrying, etc., thus you count as one size larger.
