What do you think of the large round shields you can use on a horse?

Would it be better if the possibility of using them on a horse was removed?

I'd say leave 'em. Vikings rode to battle on horse with both round or kite, and then 'most' times dismounted. But whose to say they were never used in skirmishes while mounted. Also equites and others used both round and circle shields while mounted thruout history. But mostly, having made a traditional viking round shield myself and knowing all the fine details, I tend to enjoy using them in games as well.
