Better 2 handed sword usage for Cavalry

Yes you can use 2 handed swords on horseback but they turn into 1 handed weapons makeing them useless for a  dedicated 2 hander. Perhaps make it optional to have your bastard sword or katana a two handed or one handed on horseback.

If you don't use a shield, Longsword/(H)BS/Morningstar all use your 2h wpf and count as a two-hander
I voted Gurnisson cause of his fucking bendy pike, I swear noone can roflcopter stab like he can.

Step 1: Find a long piece of metal or an actual sword.
Step 2: Find a horse that is in perfect shape.
Step 3: Mount said horse with metal/sword.
Step 4: Ride at a fast pace and attempt to lean over and swing metal/sword with two hands.
Hooray for customization and hybridization!
Down with monotonous pure classes!

It doesn't make any sense, but as gurnisson said, you use 2h wpf when you don't have a shield, and 1h when you do, even though the attack animation is exactly the same.

Step 5: Realize this ain't the realism section and shut the fuck up.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.
