What was the largest calvary battle in the history of man?  Does anyone know?  If so, does anyone know how many horses were involved?

I do not know the right answer.  I am asking everyone here if they know.  I have looked up Borodino and it was a battle in the Napoleonic wars.  I have not found out how many horses were involved.

Second Vienna perhaps?
