Light cavalry did exist.
Heavy havlary had cuiras grieves and helmets.
But certain individuals would be better armored than the rest.
I have posted images of bits and piece from ancient Greek horse armor in the thread about horses and cavalry in this section
Your scenario cannot function. 3rd rank cannot reach much if first 2 ranks are engaged in synaspismos.
Kind regards
