I dunno about "just as powerful", but my understanding is that it was pretty deuced effective in Vormain. However, GCotHW notes that that after it reaches the East Isles it "dissipates". One could interpret that in a couple ways, as suits your purposes... (I think it means they were internally navigable.)

I'll nominate Vormain as the possessor of possibly EHC/A, or at any rate HC/A. Dunno if they'd ever field large numbers of them in a pure formation of such, though.
BTW, as some might object to bison riders being described as "knights", I'll throw in that I seem to recall the term "super heavy cavalry" being used in some quarters to describe this "type" at its most generic.
Slainte,
