Even without husbandry, their knights/cavaliers/paladins are still fast, about as fast as Woad Raiders. Learned that the hard way. Sent a raiding party of Woad Raiders  against a Teutonic player, who sent an army of knights who managed to chase down and keep up with my woad raiders all the way back to my town (even killing a couple of them halfway along the way) through my gates before they could close. Teutonic Paladins are still fast enough to chase down foot archers, and siege weapons, which is the main role of heavy cavalry in the game anyway. Their inherent resistance to conversion makes them sightly better against monks as well.

They would be at a disadvantage against cavalry archer civs like the mongols, because their cavalty archers can wear down the Teutonic Paladins if micomanaged well enough. Would still have to be micro'd extremely well however, and outnumber them at least 2 to 1.
