The rider is still sitting on a rather large advantage, literally. Realistically, if your sword (or even spear) is in your right hand, attacking something on the left side of the horse is going to be quite difficult if not impossible. Plus, this restriction might help with the "teleporting horse" problem a little bit. The rider now has to plot his attack runs a little more intelligently.

But, hey, I'm willing to let the rider attack to either side. There's no need to indicate facing or leaning for that.
