That doesn't mean it's ever easy for a human to stop a horse. They can weigh upwards of 10+ times what the human weighs, and the human is standing still, while the horse has the momentum on its side.

I would indeed definatly be a horryfing experience.

I've actually heard of reports of middle age battles where knights would canter (note canter, as full charges were almost impossible to keep in rank, thus they were rarely used by professional forces) up to a line in hopes of breaking the enemy moral....they would then feign retreat, and repeat the process....probably VERY unnerving for those poor levies waiting to be trampled....
