In short, put some distance between you and your target so you can build up some momentum before striking.

Hitting a target with a couched lance at full gallop can do massive damage (I've done over 200 with it). To do so, you press the 'x' button(you can change the button to couch lances in settings) when you are moving fast enough. To do even more damage, you can couch your lance (think jousting) once you build up enough forward momentum. Basically, the faster you and your horse are moving when you connect with the lance the more damage you deal. When you do attack someone, there'll be a message at the lower left usually telling you your bonus (or in this case) penalty damage from movement speed. You can't get that hunk of wood up to a fast enough speed to do any damage (especially to someone wearing armor). Because they are so big and unwieldy, trying to poke someone with a lance up close is equivalent of trying to tap someone with a 2x4 from inches away.
The problem with lances is that you need to build up lots of momentum to put in a big hit. My tactic in this is I keep running circles with my horse keeping my lance in a thrust position, get some speed and then go straight for an enemy and hope you hit him. So you are going to have to try and thrust the lance against enemies, at a high speed to do a good amount of damage. Now the first way isn't really possible since the arena is rather small, and couching the lance takes time.
This together with the speed of your horse will increase your damage. The other way to deal damage is to click and hold and when close to an enemy thrust the lance and hit them. There are 2 ways to deal damage with the lance, you can either couch the lance (Keep running with your horse and suddenly you will see the lance level horizontally.) All you need to do then is hit the person. Since the lances in a tournament are also practice lances their damage potential is rather low. The damage potential of the lance is all dependent on the speed of the horse the faster you go and hit an enemy the more damage you do.
