I might be late in saying this, but I'm going to say it anyway. I think the idea of a few higher up members of the Legion having horses is very possible. Throughout history, when exploring new lands, the military woud often bring their own mounts with them. I don't see why the Legions wouldn't do the same for their generals or scouts. All that is needed is a supply of grain and hay stored in the forts.
Also, the idea about them not being able to survive in the ash storms is a little retarded to me. I know sandstorms and ashstorms are different things, but they are pretty close in the same effects it seems like to me. Anways, Arabian horses survive in some of the harshest lands for raising lifestock there is, having to put up with severe sandstorms, heat, and lack of good pastures. Yet they seem to thrive in this environment, producing some of the toughest breeds around.
