If they can't get through the press of the infantry ahead of them, they will mill behind the horde, making it seem as if they were staying behind the troops.

Just try and put them alone in the center with infantry on the wings and maybe a few scattered around the front. To make sure of your test, try it with a mounted commander leading infantry.

In the absence of orders, they attack. This has been my experience 100% of the time.
