Did the cavalry soldiers fire at British soldiers from the ground before running away?

Cavalry soldiers typically engaged in direct combat with infantry soldiers, but they were not primarily known for firing from the ground. Instead, cavalry units were generally trained to charge and engage in close combat, often relying on speed and mobility. If they did dismount to fire, it was usually a tactical decision rather than a standard practice, and they would typically withdraw quickly after engaging. Therefore, while there may have been instances of cavalry firing while on foot, it was not their primary mode of operation.
