It's fun for fighting giants, and the NPC AI can't really handle it well for melee fighters either. You can actually power attack, and better, you can hold the power attack button indefinitely so as to time out the attack for when you're actually going to hit them, so it's more than possible to ride by someone, swipe with your power attack as they take an ineffectual swing at you/your horse, ride away, then turn around and repeat.
