You're right. If that's the case you can just throw a few Spearmen into the mix, they are roughly equivalent in cost, which is a great added plus, but they must be used strictly for defending against cavalry. A couple of towers are also very helpful, specially against Militia or Men-at-Arms, and don't forget to garrison the public utility villagers (I like to call them that).
