This would definitely make me reconsider the pricing of the Balearic slingers. If only I seen this before the Carthange tournament concluded, so I could test them out properly.
They generally hold steady v Javelin Horse. 80% chance to hold steady, 8% to disrupt and 12% to fragment. About the same percentages as v Javelinmen. The chance to fragment is a bit higher because of fighting mounted in the open.
Archaic arms has a series on how to use Balearic sling...seems to be obsessed with the thing :) quite interesting results on accuracy and power, so might answer some of your questions.

Good video
How likely are Balearic Slingers to evade against light Javelin Horse and how do they hold up against them?

I really can't see how you can shoot a sling 400 feet, let alone accurately.
