How does a cavalary charge work?

I don’t understand why Horses wouldn’t be afraid to charge into a wall of humans with weapons. And if they would do it, wouldn’t the first row tumble and all the other incoming horses would trip over them resulting in a domino effect?

Horses also had armor. There were heavy cavalry units with larger horses that were heavily armored for more head on attacks, and light cavalry with fast horses and light armor for flanking or attacking retreating troops.
