well, I did not get the mounted thunderbraves myself so I would not know. but, in principle, their advantage would come from the fact that they give an apache player the great advantage of being able to harass enemy long before the opponent reaches the main line and continue gunpowder shots in back after the lines have engaged. at the latter point, foot thunderbraves frequently need to stop because they require a straight, unobstructed line of fire.
