Not to mention an ordinary horse with ST 14-18 being limited to 140 to 180 pounds.

Horses have slightly different rules. If you check p. 66 and p. 130 horses can carry up to ST*12. So the "nag" could carry 168 to 216 lbs, a light riding horse could carry 240 to 264 lbs and so on.
The rules for ST are a little wonky - carrying capacity is linear with ST but maximum lift is quadratic (see p. 65.) I think it might make sense to give an encumbrance multiplier for large creatures in lieu of custom rules.
