However, they seldom attack on foot except for individual combat, so they usually retain the advantage. As light cavalry, their attacks are extremely fast and deadly, but they are vulnerable to archers and on the ground they are less effective against armored infantry despite their speed. The most capable warriors therefore often have a very long braid. Dothraki warriors wear their hair in a long braid and only cut it when defeated, so the world may see their shame. They also shun armor, considering speed and freedom of movement to be more important in battle. The Dothraki traditionally fight with curved swords known as arakhs, but also employ bolas, daggers, and whips, or huge, recurved bows with impressive range and striking power that can be fired from horseback. Khal Drogo's braid is so long it reaches past his waist, indicating he has never been defeated and thus never cut it. The Dothraki are usually dismissive of infantry (with the notable exception of the elite Unsullied warrior-eunuch legions). The Dothraki respect force, and thus only respect those who are able to successfully resist them, while conquered slaves deserve only contempt. The Dothraki live by taking what they need including supplies, valuables, and new captives to serve as slaves.

The Dothraki frequently raid neighboring regions, such as Lhazar to the southeast or the Free Cities to the west. The khalasars roam the Dothraki Sea, always on the move looking for new pasture lands and new targets to plunder. The Dothraki are divided into several nameless clans known as khalasars, each led by a single leader called " khal". The Dothraki will abandon a sick or injured leader who can no longer ride a horse.

Dothraki boys learn to shoot bows from horseback when they are only four years old. Most of their society is centered around their horses: even their name for themselves in their own language, "Dothraki", literally means "riders". The Dothraki are nomadic horse-mounted warriors, who sweep across the vast central plains of Essos in search of plunder.
