Line 23:
* The Mongols in all books, naturally enough.
* The various steppe tribes in Harry Turtledove's [[Videssos]] books. The Videssians themselves may also qualify, though they prefer more armor than the average horse archer.
* In [[The Lord of the Rings]] the Rohirrim field a number of these. However most of their army seems to be lancers.
* The Haldane Household Archers function this way in battle, as seen in ''[[Deryni|The King's Justice]]''. In that same book, Kelson himself is one {{spoiler|when he executes Sicard by shooting an arrow through his eye}}.
* In [[Belisarius Series]] the Persians prefer steppe style bows that have a great rate of fire. Romans prefer giant bows that can penetrate armor. Rajputs are also notable Horse Archer s but not as good as Persians.
