It just aesthetically rankles me to ask a guy to go out and routinely 
use a weapon for which he's not strong enough. As a commander, I'd go 
with requiring ST 13. It'll be easier for him mounting and 
dismounting, lugging gear around the camp, etc. etc.

As a player character, I can *easily* see a young knight or squire 
moving up to lance well before he's really ST:13; wanting to fill his 
father's shoes, or whatever.

So either answer is acceptable, depending on the situation, IMHO.
