Although if the cavalry are using those sorts of hit and run attacks then they would probably be using missiles or extra long lances specifically for the purpose of out-ranging the infantry's weapons, and with the most agile side determining at which distance the battle is fought that would still leave anyone armed with a short, thrusting spear sort of high and dry (I suppose I'll leave the question of whether many spears were designed for both thrusting and throwing to another discussion).
