Historical background
Fighting with the bow from horseback was the strength of the horse peoples of the Eurasian steppe, from the Scythians to the Huns. With the short composite bow they shot at the gallop, even turned backwards in the saddle. Settled empires such as the Parthians, Han China and later Rome raised horse archers of their own to meet them.
