We are playing on a private server and found that riding horses while wielding a spear on a high level horse makes you able to tackle much stronger opponents than you otherwise would be able to.

Polearms on horses ALWAYS apply a stack of bleeding which wears down even the strongest of opponents eventually. Also the base damage of your weapon seems greatly increased even if you are not moving at all.

Is there anything we can do to mitigate those issues?

At this time the only thing you can do is tune damage, but that will apply to all player weapons.

Which will happen anyway… With the next patch you are able to have a thrall and a horse…

Lvl20 volcano or cim with lvl20 horse 😃

Or as someone already posted: Disable mounts + thralls combo during PvP time.
