ok, first:
Based on the general assumption that Mat was freed from the horn during one of the times he died. The question is who will blow the horn for the Last Battle?
Here is my most likely candidate. Faile. The reason is simply that she was introduced into the story as a hunter for the horn. Obviously she backame one of the main characters when she maried Perrin, but why was it important for RJ to make her a hunter? She clearly had enough family power to make her an interesting character. She could have been introduced a lot of diferent ways to the same effect. But he tied her to the horn when she was first introduced.
There is one other part of her prensance in the story that makes this likely. Perrin will never accept her at his side in battle. Therefore, she has been reduced to Tonto's roll. "Go get help." "Yes Kimosabi" Now, do you think that Perrin will willingly let her ride into the TG with him? Not a fat chance. she will likely arive the way she did in the Two Rivers battle with a new army in tow & right at the last seconds to save the cast & crew.
The other offchance candidate I can see is Oliver. Now that RJ has lifted the Taint off of Saidin, there is no more immediate timeline for TG to take place. It would be a bit of Irony if Oliver is in fact Gaidal Cain that he would blow the horn & lead the rest of the heroes back into battle.
