It very much depends on if the Rohirrim had stirups or not, as you can only wield a light spear or a sword. But it is implied that they must have had stirups because of some of them shot with bows while on horses which is not possible without stirups. But if Theoden didnt have his army, he would've got anihilated by Denethor.
