Bowrider

(image)

The combination of bow and horseback is rare, with most accompished archers preferring to fight on foot and most accomplished riders preferring to fight with the sword. The few recruited as bowriders are typically found on border patrols, where speed is of the essence. They are best used for hit-and-run attacks against raiders with no ranged weapons, but their size means they rarely hold their own in a straight fight against archers on foot.
