I suppose I'll give it to you, but it's not entirely correct...
The army of Gondor actually had more infantry than cavalry, but the cavalry was the decicive factor in the battle. It says that the infantry was winning the battle already when the cavalry came down upon the flank of the Witch Kings army, which made it a rout. Glorfindel did contribute, but it was mostly the cavalry of Gondor that made the battle so decisive.
