Normans did breed big war horses. So your reason why you think cavalry was ineffective is because of Hastings? One example? Why is this the only example that people use when they talk about muh superior infantry ? Did you ever seen a horse? Did you ever ride one, or take care of one? I did, and they are very powerful and heavy beasts, now imagine 1000 of them armoured with a rider also heavy armoured and a big lance charging at you, good luck stopping that.

As far as I remember, it wasn't until the modern period that large war horses were bred. Most european warhorses of the medieval period were no bigger than an arabian horse.

No it isn't one example. You are arguing with quote from wiki, which is based on research of many scholars. Provide few notable examples, showing your point of view instead of what have you written below.
I never said cavalary was ineffective. I wrote that it's main advantage was manouverability and speed, not head on charge. This alone let cavalary be winning factor in battles since bronze age. Regardless of horses size.
The battle that kickstarted domination of heavy cavalary in Europe was battle of Adrianopole between Goths and Romans. Unsuprisingly, there were no head on charges in there. As cavalary does, heavy gothic horseman appeared on wings, defeated enemy's cav, and hit main infantary body from back and side.
This pattern repeats itself from Bronze Age to 2ww.
There were few formations in history, that managed to consistently charge head on , but there were rare exceptions. And they too lost on many occasions.
Your imagination does not make your theory valid. Historical sources do not prove your point at all.
As a matter of fact, I have seen horses, ridden on few. At one stage, for fun, I also took part in shield wall reanacment. However I keep my feelings regarding what's possible and not closed in a drawer for special occasions. And this occasion is a moment, when we do not have historical sources and we need to speculate.
In case of cavalary or shield walls, we do not face such obstacle.

by the 11th century the average warhorse was probably 14.2 to 15 hands (58 to 60 inches, 147 to 152 cm), a size verified by studies of Norman horseshoes as well as the depictions of horses on the Bayeux Tapestry
