I agree that the Junkelmann books are the best- but not available in translation as far as I know.
Three books in English:-
-The Roman cavalry from the First to the Third Century AD- Dixon & Southern
- Training the Roman cavalry from Arrian's Ars Tactica- Hyland
- Roman cavalry equipment-Stephenson and Dixon
I was a little disappointed at the third book. The Hyland book has the huge advantage of actually being written by a highly accomplished rider- fascinating.
Cheers
