No. They have been mooted for a possible future campaign supplement.

Mounted infantry are considered to only used their mounts for pre battle manouevers.

Overall FoG is much more restrictive when it comes to mounting and dismounting which IMO is a good thing. The DBM mounted infantry functioned not unlike ECW Dragoons which is just plain wrong.

ECW Dragoons didn't mount and dismount as quickly and as easily as DBM mounted Infantry.

I think PanzerGrenadiers may be closer to the mark.

No Wolves form the Sea was last. The Panzergrenadiers are the dismounting Fyrd. Ride around unless there is some big hard mounted armour, then get off and f*** it over once you know where it is. This being at a range of at least 18MU, usually further.
