Also, by locking up the equipment slots in game, cavalry can only have 3 weapon slots occupied because the horse takes up the fourth.
I believe this is intended because the horse is a very strong item and advantage to have. You can still carry a lance, a shield and a sword or swap out any of them for a support item.

I think Cav was nerfed too much at once. Cav is no longer that much of an advantage unless you have an armored mount. Like I said, my steppe charger couldn't go faster than a walk after losing ~1/5 of its health. If your horse takes so much as an arrow you will be struggling to get back to the trough to heal it up, and you'll be doing that every time you take as much as a swing from a peasant.
