There is no doubt that a knight has a certian disadvantage against a samuari, however the plate on some of the later armours was greatly improved and the later knights espically from middle europe were very well trained at atacking ground untis espically the broadswordsmen and hence it is difficult to determine, besides the kind of attack depolyed by knights would be overwhealming for anyone if they were on ground.
Have you vere seen a riot police officers horse? A pure war horse is twice as large and almost just as fast, they dominated the field they rode on, not forgetting armoured horses were also a norm in those days.
