OK, sorry for the sarcasm. But ask Ugluk and Co.; the Rohirrim will quickly ride into range, shoot arrows at you and ride out of range before you can respond. When you think you're safe, they will charge you and overrun your position. No man, orc, elf or dwarf can stop several spears heading towards him at once, guided by the strong hands of tall men. And no other force of cavalry in Middle-earth can match their steeds; fully cooperating with their masters, swift as the wind, and as much a weapon in combat as their riders. The Rohirrim aren't called the Horse-Lords for nothing.

Except this is a game. It's not the Lord of the Rings to the letter, and balance is crucial. If it were, the sheer amount of orcs would crash the game and there would be very few elves.
