I play as cav, 2H (longsword) and thrower.
As cav: It's not as easy as you might think. Sometimes I have to circle around for a long time because there seems to be lots of people using pike these days. I use a Sarranid Horse, and if I ride into a pike it WILL kill the poor thing. The easiest targets are unaware archers who are concentrated on firing. Usually they are at enemy flanks, so I can approach from flank and ride through the crowd, bumping about 4 guys in the way. Never through the whole mass, because then my horse would stop and I would be dead. Two-handed stab is also a killer, if I ride into it I'll be dead. BTW I use an Iron Staff on horseback, so I need to get close before hitting.
Haven't played that much with 2H, seems to be similar. Horsemen should stay away from the stab, with the speedbonus it really hurts. Killed a couple horses with it.
Throwing: This is a real killer for horses. My best moment was when I twoshotted Phazh Cata horse from under him with Jarids. When I play as my cav char, I always stay away from throwers.
