Horses for Officers in the Civil War

Hey, I am writing a novel for my English class which takes place in the Civil War, and my character is a Captain in a North Carolinian Infantry Regiment.

I figured that most Captains would definitely not have a horse fr marching or combat, but I was wondering about those of a higher rank. My character is promoted to a Major after Manassass, so I was wondering if I should have him ride a horse then.

Any help is appreciated!
