According to Home of the Bold, Whipstock cavalry actually come from Alkoth, and probably spend a lot of time waiting to raid Darjiin.

I do agree that the Lunar cavalry is often under-rated. The reason many of their allies provide cavalry is that the Lunars make use of whatever combat units a region or culture area provide. Just because they may not have enough heavy infantry in an area doesn't mean that they'll make any new Char-un recruits give up their mounts and pick up a spear and shield. At least that's how it is supposed to work.
