How did the introduction of larger horses lead to use heavily armored knights?

One of the original limiting factors on the amount of armor a knight could wear was the weight his mount could carry. As warmbloods (draft horses crossed with Arabian-descent horses) were developed, knights got larger horses that could carry more weight and still be useful in battle, allowing for the knight to wear more armor.
