Barristan and Jorah are intelligent and have seen war, but Barristan was first and foremost a bodyguard and his claim to fame was as a swordsman. On the tactical side the Five Kings have a massive advantage as well. And if they do bring their horses that will just make them more weighed down in a sea battle against an army of pirates. The Dothraki are also at a huge disadvantage without their horses, which probably can't be easily transported across the sea. It only took a few thousand of Stannis' knights to completely route an army of over 100,000 wildlings before. The wildlings and Dothraki aren't a match for the formal, organized armies of Westeros and don't have weapons and armor to compete with Westerosi knights. The dragons are the only threats, and as they are now in the books they aren't enough to compensate for the huge disadvantage Jon and Danny have in gear and tactical experience.
