Cavalry hide in light scrub?

I don´t know if this belongs here or in the historical section, please feel free to move it i was not too sure where to put it.

The thing is that i was wondering if anyone else thought a bit strange that many cavalry units are able to hide in light scrub. In woodlands of course i understand, but i assumed the light scrub would be more fitting for the infantry units. So my question is, do cavalry historically really could hide in light scrub?

I know examples of it in ancient times (like iberian tribes) but of course i assume a 18th century line cavalry regiment would not be able to do that. But what about other more irregular light cavalry units, like hussars or indian light cavalry? Those certainly seems more likely to do so.

In the game it certainly looks odd to see cavalry units "hiding" when you can easily seem them there standing, but i remember reading about horses being sat down and their riders crouched next to them, ready to be mounted and move at the signal, not in this time period thought. So in short, do you think it is accurate for cavalry in etw being able to hide in light scrub, and if so, do you know of any examples around the time period (17-19th century) where horsemen would do this?

Off the top of my head, I can only recall Native American musket-armed horsemen being able to hide in light scrub. I'm fairly certain none of the European armies have cavalry which share that trait. I don't know about accurate, but it certainly follows popular culture for Native American cavalry to be able to hide in light scrub and gameplay-wise it's a nice attempt to balance them against European forces. I agree however, that it would be very unusual to see European cavalry with the same ability.
