Also Soviets,Germans and Finnish had Cavalry in WWII.Soviets even had elite units of Guards Cavalry and Germans even SS Cavalry.But these guys used horses as means of transportation.They didnt fight on horseback.Specially at Steppes of central and Southern Russia at Spring and Autum horses were the best means of transportation,because everything else would stuck in the mud.
