The cavalry they would have would be more shock cavalry, get in, hit hard, get out. It would be impossible for them to get shock cavalry as the riders would be well armed and armoured to survive the impact shocks and blades of the enemies. Shock cavalry aren't cheap, and sheep aren't stupidly strong. If anything, it's the most impractical idea I've ever heard for them to use sheep. Elk are even more impractical, but elves sit around most of the time doing nothing, so they can spend the time taming them. Dwarves on the other hand don't, and it would take nothing less than a miracle for them to tame a sheep for riding.
