A cavalry rider holds the reins in his left hand. The pistol is transferred to the left hand (while still holding the reins) and the loading is done with the right hand.
This is all very natural to someone used to riding horses. In a situation where you need to reload a pistol while mounted, the last thing I would do is let go of the brakes.
