In June 1922, the regiment was sent to the Polish part of Upper Silesia, to take over the part of the region that was awarded to the Second Polish Republic after the Upper Silesia plebiscite. In the same year, it was garrisoned in the town of Tarnowskie Góry, where it remained until the 1939 Invasion of Poland. In 1924, its reserve squadron was placed in Bochnia, and in 1926, the third squadron was garrisoned in Pszczyna. From 1937–1939, the regiment was a part of the Kraków Cavalry Brigade. The adjective "Silesian" was added to its official name in 1938, following a motion of the Silesian Sejm.
