Well, there’s a couple things:
1. Wights don’t die to almost all conventional weapons. So a cavalry charge, while it gives you mobility, doesn’t actually kill them.
2. Every single casualty becomes another enemy.
Are the Wights a credible threat to Westeros as an army? We’ve seen them overwhelm vastly outnumbered forces in a fixed position, but what about fighting on an open field? We’ve no mention of them using tactics, formations, specialised units etc; wouldn’t cavalry charges and flaming arrows cut through them like sitting ducks, resilient or not?
