IIRC, there are just a few images showing what seems to be cavalrymen with tight ankle-length armour, which prevents them from riding normally. So they ride side-saddle. However, it's just an interpretation, and I can't really say if wielding a long lance would be feasable, riding like that! Confusedhock:
