The Han horses are much larger, and the Qin horses (with all the attention to detail and life size) are a small pony.
It is sometime after JingDi (Wudi's father) that the chariots seem to fade from the battlefield after a nearly 500 year decline and I believe it is the breeding of effective strong horses for the military which made a mobile platform transported by a team of smaller Chinese horses finally an uneconomic weapon.
The Western Han military system is very different from those of the later periods in that the army was conscription based, rendering the military efficiency of the army largely equal throughout its reign.
