This would be good on balancing mounts, as the only evil ones who ride are Menish factions and Lesser Orcs, not Uruks, despite Half trolls... yea, but dwarves got boars.

Uruks dont ride, Elves dont ride, except Woodland ones, who can have Elks instead, this is not such a problem because their bows are weaker compared to the other elves, and they got some disvantages in comparision to the rest.

So we would have Wood-elves riding elks still and Half trolls as strong mounted unit riding. Elves rode horses, you seem to be forgetting Glorfindel, who quite clearly rode - amongst many others. One elf, not an army, as said before, the only elves that normally ride are the leaders or special characters. They are Elves, not Rohirrim. They would still have a fairly sizeable cavalry force. Any fairly knowledgeable country has had one, to date. Tolkien took a lot of inspiration from the real world.
