Eastern warhorse question

       Since None of my clan mates own a Eastern warhorse and I am unwilling to pay 45k for the purposes of theory crafting I come to you fine folks with some questions. Hopefully someone can answer as I have only seen the beast three times.

They seemed to be lower to the ground than most other horses, what would you say they are comparable to? Are they as short as an arabian? If have you tested using different lengths of weapons like one or two handers what seems to be an effective cut off point for length? I know technically one can hit the enemies head with just about any length as I used to use knives on on Arabian warhorse with ease and on a my destrier with significantly less ease. Essentially I already have the looms to make a awesome Arabian Caliph in addition to retexturing them to look more of what a noble may have used and would love to have the option of using a 69 length reach weapon while retaining some room for error when attacking from Horseback aka being able to reach the torso and not having to scalp every enemy.

So any observations regarding the horses height even from the eyes of infantry would be greatly appreciated or any other pertinent information on the Eastern Warhorse.  :D

you can hit people while their on the ground slightly more easy, eastern war horse is quite shorter then say the padded horse.
Making it a smaller target, you can compare it with the desert horse/arab war horse. but its not the same.
Stat wise and handling its  more a anti inf horse then a anti cav horse.
Leg are not to exposed as say the charger, its good actually.

there, a few points that come to mind.

Hmm, that's interesting. After playing cav for nearly 3-4 generations, I never once thought about size/height/exposure of the horse. I always assumed their dimensions were identical to each other. Guess I still have a lot to learn.
