-Real mounted riding isn't common but the use of a cart/chariot system is used to carry the rider (and another trooper or assistant rider) and whatever junk and equipment loaded in along with the rider.
-The more common assignment for the Cavarly is to support Mountaineering, Jungle, and Humanitarian assitance/police divisions to provide support in dense enviroments where larger wheeled/tracked vehicles are diffcult to manuverer.
-Moving Light Weapons, Heavy and Medium Machineguns, and Light Artillery equipment and Munitionary supplies.
-Supporting armored vehicules in cramped and crowded spaces that can trap the larger vehicles.
-We eat them if they die.
-Fast, silent, long range, and self-sustaining reconnasance and patrol divisions.
-They dismount for combat similar to dragoons.

They aren't self-sustaining. They require more care and are more fickle than vehicles. The average horse in military service will eat ten times as much as the average soldier, and for hard riding for several days back to back, you will need multiple horses per rider. They can be useful in areas where the infrastructure to support vehicles doesn't exist, but if vehicles are available, in most cases they're more useful.

Lack of infrastruction you just pointed out is about 70% of our nation apart from the national railroad. Chariot/cart thingies the rider doesn't ride on a saddle they ride in a cart/chariot I'm just guessing this would cut the stress by at least 20%. Ignoring the fact I never said they wouldn't have more than 1 horse/camel/ostrich but I get where that might be assumed. Ostriches are trained to eat anything...including people...yes...people...
