I wouldn't recommend Ann Hylands books on ancient cavalry. There is much better stuff around.
On Roman Cavalry you should start (in my opinion) with Dixon & Southern, Roman cavalry. If you're more interesting in horsemanship the best (and only) work I would recommend is Annelies Koolen her forthcomming PhD thesis 'On horses and Man' on Xenophon and the Athenian Cavalry. (If I'm right Annelies has some copies left of her Thesis which you can order from her directly for 15 euro excl. shipping; she's here on RAT with the username Quadripes)
Unfortunately there is no 'Roman' equivalent of this sofar.
