la corpulencia / el bulto/peso [pura/puro]

I don't know if you really need to include "pura", just "corpulencia/peso" will suffice.

It might be better to rewrite it a bit:
"Mientras que los burros no pesan tanto como los caballos, aún caigan rápido y con fuerza."

¡Gracias, Sara!
Peer comment(s):

agree Sara Fairen : Yo usaría "corpulencia": Aunque los burros carecen de/no tienen la corpulencia de los caballos... Cualquier adjetivo (gran, enorme) sería redundante
