One thing that is not considered usually is that cavalry tended to wear out in campaign much faster than infantry, in Napoleonic times it was considered that in order to complete a campaign, cavalry units should have ideally a ratio of 3 horses per cavalryman. In battles after a long campaign it would be very common that a good number of cavalryman would have to fight as infantry
