Unknown Cavalry Parade

Unknown Cavalry Parade

This postcard was found among some other vintage Iowa photos. However, there is no identifying information other than the caption, so we're not sure if it was actually taken in Iowa, or even of an Iowa group. The uniforms are post-Civil War and pre-World War I, possibly 1890's. One rider is carrying a flag with a numeral "5" on it, so this appears to be the 5th Cavalry. Is there a military history buff who can help us with further identification?
