The cavalry was important arm for the Soviets. They usually fought dismounted but the use of horses in a land with few roads gave them extra mobility. Here is some information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalry_corps_(Soviet_Union)

The Soviets are still fighting in the city but as you can guess the attacks by the Germans are much diminished and the Soviets also attack but they were in a quite weakened state. The fighting in the city takes a backseat to the fighting for survival in the pocket.

I recommend Prit Buttar On A Knife's Edge for a very detailed operational history of fighting in the Ukraine Nov 1942-March 1943.

Not toot much difference. It was an honor for their successful operations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guards_unit_(Soviet_Union)

Initially, supply flights came in from the field at Tatsinskaya,[139] called 'Tazi' by the German pilots. On 23 December, the Soviet 24th Tank Corps, commanded by Major-General Vasily Mikhaylovich Badanov, reached nearby Skassirskaya and in the early morning of 24 December, the tanks reached Tatsinskaya. Without any soldiers to defend the airfield, it was abandoned under heavy fire; in a little under an hour, 108 Ju 52s and 16 Ju 86s took off for Novocherkassk – leaving 72 Ju 52s and many other aircraft burning on the ground. A new base was established some 300 km (190 mi) from Stalingrad at Salsk, the additional distance would become another obstacle to the resupply efforts. Salsk was abandoned in turn by mid-January for a rough facility at Zverevo, near Shakhty. The field at Zverevo was attacked repeatedly on 18 January and a further 50 Ju 52s were destroyed. Winter weather conditions, technical failures, heavy Soviet anti-aircraft fire and fighter interceptions eventually led to the loss of 488 German aircraft.

I think there were more supplies available then space and aircraft available for transport.

Not if you take into account the German plan to depopulate the USSR, destroy their cities and mass murder and starve millions. About 27 million Soviet citizens were killed in WWII.

The reinforcements they are talking about are for the contemplated advance to relieve Stalingrad defenders. They have to build up forces for that relief attempt.
