Cavalry had been in decline on the Battlefield for a very long time before WW1. (As long as the enemy was sophisticated, the British still massacred many at Omdurman as late as 1898) But Crimea, the US Civil War & the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 all illustrate the decline of Cavalry. The principal reason for this is simple: The Rifle could hit targets at much greater range than before & a horse is a big target. The same of course applies to the effects of modern Artillery: More power & more accuracy.
