I highly doubt that Rohan militia, with their shoddy chainmail and rusty blades can actually go toe-to-toe with the highly trained men of Dol Amroth. The reason Rohan is considered to have better cavalry is because they focus their strategies entirely on cavalry, while Dol Amroth is a more well-rounded military. Only in numbers do I think that Rohan cavalry could have victory against that of Dol Amroth. culturally basically everyone in Rohan is brought up riding a horse. Rohan has the best horses (except elven because tolkien's got favouraitism problems) and anyway not all of Rohan's army are militia But the VAST majority are, and from what Tolkien discribed, they don't even have a standing army. Just local lords that muster troops in time of need.

Rohan does have the best horses, but many of the horses of Dol Amroth are decended from Rohirrim horses...

Are you really going to debate that Rohirrim smithing is equel to that of their Southern cousins?
