This is WW1 neighbor, cavalry was often used. Machine guns at those times were both rare of poor quality, plus you can simply avoid them by expanding and leaving gaps in the formation. Then is the problem of hitting a small fast moving target(which is why more horses died than soldiers because they are easy to Target)

Yeah but if you shoot the horse the rider is basically neutered too during a cavalry charge. There were 1k+ soldiers there, even with .303s they should've perforated any cavalry doing a frontal charge through open terrain. Battle plan seems like the sort of stupidity that got thousands killed in the trenches of Europe or Gallipoli but somehow it worked here lol.

They were definitely aiming randomly instead of shooting the front row and letting the charge collapse
