ParticipantWe ran a scenario recently that required the defender to set up three infantry units in an area, these units were considered hidden. The defender had a Polish Cavalry Platoon and the question was whether the Cavalry squads would have to dismount to get the benefit for hidden. We could find nothing in the rule book stating that Cavalry could not benefit from hidden set up, only references to scouts in a few theatre books that allow scouts to be set up like sniper/observers except if they are mounted.

ParticipantThere isn’t even a requirement for hidden units to be infantry, let alone dismounted infantry. Even tanks can be hidden if they meet the requirements for hidden set up – in cover to all enemy that can draw LOS or out of sight of enemy altogether.
Think time taken on cam and concealment, not quickly ducked behind a tree.
