My suggestion is that there should be at least one item in all categories for recruits.
This will make it a whole lot easier for people to start leveling into the class they want (especially for cavalry).
Since they're still recruits it would still balance out or something since its only like a first tier item for them (hunting bow and a really bad horse).
Hopefully I didn't just copy someones idea

A lot of the limitations for recruits are there for balance reasons. Cavalry if used properly can decimate the waves, so it is purposefully extremely hard to go the mounted route.
As for more weapons, they should gain more access to basic weapons from crafting (coming soon!) and loot, i.e. the Nord Sargeant has a ~25% chance of dropping a rare two handed axe which despite being a recruit you can still equip!
So I agree its a little rough at the moment, as more content and features are created, it should smooth out. Another example of this, is using quests to get XP rewards, so you could have various ones to help boost you xp in that area. For instance, kill 20 nord archers and get 2000ranged xp, or kill 5 nord scouts and get 1000 mounted xp. These are just a few things which should be coming soon to make it a bit easier for recruits
(plus crafting of course!)

Can you put a really bad horse into a recruits Marketplace? it cost like 6000 gold but is bad so maybe some people dont buy it.

How about a bad horse that's only advantage to buying it is being higher than standing height? You could make the speed just as fast (or slightly faster) than a person running on the ground but have an extremely low maneuvering. I think it would still be balanced out by the fact that you need to make it into one of the weapon slots.
