Which is one of the reasons Roose wanted to get loyalty from the other houses. The Lannisters sent a force of 30,000 towards the Vale to free Tyrion in season 1, and that was less than half their force. Renly had 100,000 strong with the backing of Highgarden and not all the men of the Stormlands.
The North, Westerland, Stormlands and Riverlands, lost a lot of troops during the War of the Five Kings, however, Highgarden didn't take a huge hit. The Vale and Dorne are Kingdoms themselves with numbers comparable to the others pre-war and they didn't lose anyone during the conflict. It's pretty fair to say that each Kingdom has (had) a force of around the magnitude of 50,000. And while many of the soldiers wouldn't be fitted with the finest armour and weaponry, they certainly are more equipped than that Dothraki horde.

Ah okay. Perspective is key.
I wish they would mention stuff like that more in the show because obviously for financial reasons they can't show that many people all the time.
