Very few historical cavalry will charge formed infantry. Those that did had huge mounts, specially trained, and they used lances. Even then they almost never charged head-on. The Dothraki use sickle swords, a useless weapon for anything except chasing light infantry off the field.
Clearly the Dothraki are meant to look and seem cool. But their armaments and tactics are completely ahistorical and defy any sensible military tactics. Not much point criticizing them.

There was a big part of the 8 seasons dedicated to developing the Dothraki storyline.
Then it was over in 2 min. Really strange.
