Sally Gate
One of the major gates to pass through the walls of Keystone the Sally Gate is specifically designed for a cavalry unit.
It has a ditch in front of the wall, and four massive, 60-foot-wide drawbridges that cross it at different points. The idea is that the forces of the Sally Gate can open one of their ramp gates and unleash a full cavalry charge from the very base of the castle.
The inside is similarly designed for cavalry fighting, with long yards with access to the stables, and wide, gently sloping ramps throughout much of the fortification. From here horses can be ridden up on the main wall of keystone, and have been used as reserves for many of the more recent sieges of the city.
