Hi Guy,
As I said I've went to three hex war horses a while ago, and this is not enough. A line of infantry (one deep) can stop a galloping mass of warhorses at maximum speed when they hit the zone of control of the infantry and are engaged.

In real life you needed multiple ranks, with pikes or bayonets on the end of muskets in a hedge hog formation to intimidate the horses enough to back off.
