The Lafe staff can answer your questions better, but some type of cavalry/scout unit would be really cool.
There is a ready source of water, in the form of a very roman-like fountain which has a water line running to it. There was also a push-style wagon there this year that was used to move all kinds of things around...
I would hope that the authenticity police would relax on the tack and harness issue. Safety trumps authenticity...but I think the site staff would be ok with it.
I would think, lastly, that any combat with the horses would be disallowed, due to the safety of everyone and the horses. Not to mention liability! So I would say no to a combat role...but a scouting role could be different, or perhaps an area-denial unit. I dunno...depends. They could also say that any flank protected by "cavalry" is not accessible to enemy infantry. Of course, I am speaking from a legionary perspective...
