Horse is wrong.
Horses used by knights of that period were commonly referred to as 'War Horses'. They were of the Parisian, Clydesdale and other such large draft breeds. They were used so as to keep their riders high above the enemy during close combat and were typically 16.5 to 17 hands high.
Given the picture shown the horse's back would be at about chest height of the rider. A normal war horse would be much taller.
