Skythian horse archers were a common site on the ancient battlefields of Persia. These ones are playing the role of mercenaries for the Persians. Overall I am happy with this element, although it turns out that prior to horse shoes nobody rode the white spotted horses. Apparently they had weak hooves or something. Still, I am sure there was one guy who rode such a horse into battle at some point, and so I left it! Overall I am happy with these two, but the white/red dots pattern on the fig on the right didn't turn out as well as I would have liked.
