I apologize for the brevity of this reply Hoplite14gr (I'm in a hurry), but I know in the Alexiad, Alexios I ordered his archers to fire at the mounts and then attack the unhorsed knights. I know this is some 70 years later, but it is very possible, if not probable, that your opinion is correct; but I would add that the infantry supported the cavalry in the attack. Just my two cents.
