@Fergus: Well, you choose the pieces when you implement the game. If unusual pieces are required, I guess the only option is to create those yourself. It should be considered part of the work implementing the game. Most people seem to prefer the Camaratta pieces.
I think the Knights for the Cavaliers are a good choice, BTW, as they are demagnified Knights. They would not be easily confused with a normal Knight, if both were on the board. If you already consider it confusing to represent Cavaliers by Knights, imagine how it would be if the Camaratta piece would also be replaced by Knightlike shapes...
I did make a dedicated Nightrider, as a Horse that seems to run rather than prance; it is also on a taller pedestal, and is available as fr-nightrider in the fairy-set-view. That board also shows pieces fr-ferz-knight and fr-wazir-knight, where I made the shape of the pedestal indicate the enhancement. As these are diagonal and orthogonal enhancements, they could also be taken to hint at added Bishop and Rook motion. So you could use these instead of the Camaratta pieces.
