I'm Sardinian, so I think I can talk with some insider knowledge.

The horse fairs you're talking about are a very recent thing, plus they breed imported english and arab horses.

The only horses there were in the middle ages are the "cavallini della giara", which are pony sized ones thus unsuitable for battle.

I'd put a "Sardinian axemen" unit, using woodsmen upgraded with good morale and 1 more point in defence and armour than vanilla woodsmen, adding maybe a small shield if it's compatible with the woodsman animation.

You can use the unit you created for "arab horsemen", available in sicily and the muslim lands, they would be VI saharan cavalry.
