Wait till the first giant hits you with his club or an orc scores a crit...But by the RAW the orcs can try to bull rush or trip the rider. To kill the horse may seem very easy, but with "mounted combat" the rider can make a ride check to substitute the AC of the horse. Don't know if your PC have this feat.In our campaign it's very hard to make use of the warhorse in battle. At mid levels there are to many area spells that kill the horses outright. Let them have fun with fighting from warhorse. It won't last that long.I forgot: try using more mobile enemies. If the PC have to move more than 5 feet they will lose 2 attacks. Try using pole arms, the best weapon to counter mounted attacks. Ah, and you know that the PC fight from higher ground, granting them a +1 to hit ?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Ambush them from above in small valley. So your orcs get a bonus to hit. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
