I gave a companion a good cavalry equipment , assigned him to cavalry troop type and made him clan party leader. He correctly leaded cavalry in my army as a captain for a time. Then I did not understood why he became captain for infantry or archer only. Explanation: his horse died in battle without me noticing.
I am happy with horses dying or being crippled in battle since version 1.5.9 (i think). especially for my party member companions where I can replace them. But this is a big issue for clan party leaders. They won't replace horse themselves and expensive saddles are lost. The only way to give them a horse again is to disband party, take him to group again, replace equipment and then create party again. And re-creating a clan party cost a lot of gold (because of lost provisions I guess)
Same issue as when it was impossible to assign perks to clan members not in party.
Also Does it mean that if a AI lord lose his horse this is forever and then he will charge with cavalry lance on foot?
Solution would be to add a dialogue line when meeting a clan party leader, similar to "let me see your troops", like "let me see your equipment". Also useful to upgrade their stuff without disbanding them or waiting for their party to be crushed.
And / or: horses should die only in player's party members, as long as AI don't manage horses.
