With regular cavalry units you can use the second value on the stat_health line to improve auto-calc performance. It has no effect on performance in a normal battle, it might have some effect on AI recruiting preference (it looked that way to me but I didn't test it rigorously), but it definitely has an effect on auto-calc. I have used this to improve the performance of horse archer factions in XGM with great success.
