Sorry about the name-spelling. My bad.
 
A direct translation of the system I've been using to your system would be to
cost out warhorses at 36 points. That is, the equivelant of a 36 point
character (even though they're far above that...they're technically 49 point
characters...30 str 13 dex 6 iq). Here's the point system used in Dragons of
Underearth (which is still available from Exaclibre games, btw):
 
28-point attribute human or humanoid=1 point
32-point attribute human or humanoid=1.5 points
36-point attribute human or humanoid=2 points
40-point attribute human or humanoid=3.5 points
44-point attribute human or humanoid=6 points
48-point attribute human or humanoid=9 points
 
Wolf=1 point
Bear=2 points
Lion=2 points
Gargoyle=2 points
Giant=2 points
4-hex Dragon=4 points
7-hex Dragon=10 points
Greater Demon=16 points
Troll=3.5 points
Octopus=4 points
Permanent Magic Items=1 point per $4,000
Magic Gems=1 point per $500
Potions=1 point per $500
 
I just figured a warhorse was about the equivelant of a lion or bear so that's
why I chose 2 points and so far it's worked out. As I mentioned, though,
barding might make them too powerful for that point cost.
 
I tried light horses (st 24, dx 13, iq 5, susceptible to panic) at 1.5 points
but they seemed to powerful. I had messed them up though, not realizing that
they can get knocked down with 8 hits (I had been playing them like a st 30
creature) so maybe they're about right at 1.5 if played properly.

Glad my play aids are working out for you! Now you've got me thinking
about including mounted troops in my lists of character types you can
pick to use. Or at least provide the opportunity to choose horses,
wargs, unicorns etc. for your team. If you have typed up your point
system I'd like to take a look at it.
