If the Rohirrim hadn't been fighting Saruman, they wouldn't have been impassioned enough to ride to Gondor with horns a-blowing just after the Muster. In times of peace, it would have probably taken them longer to muster all their forces together, and in that delay, Minas Tirith would have probably fallen. The Rohirrim helped Gondor win that battle spurred on by pure passion alone.
