Actually, often times it is difficult to defeat a skirmisher unit with cavalry. Skirmishers have a lot of men (usually 120), some have spears not to mention that whenever you try to charge them, they run and when you finally catch up with them, the charge has long dissipated. It is a good thing that they have low ammo and short range.
