Yes I agree. I have seen horses prepared to ride into infantry who are not armed with long weapons. One horse was out of control and easily split a formation. Another was ridden up to the infantry line, held in balance, then kicked on into the shield wall easily breaking it. But these are the exception, and the infantry were not trying to kill the horse!
