Horses tend to shy away from running into a wall of pointy things. Didn't see any of that on Stannis' side, though. They formed in nice lines and, although there appeared to be a few halberds, they seemed to be sorely lacking in really long pole-arms.
All of his cavalry he had during the fight with the Wildlings must have been mercenaries, eh.
Which is kind of why i mentioned squares.
