Look at Alexander the Great's campaign through Afghanistan to see how horse archers were successfully handled by an army built around infantry and cavalry. You choose your battlegrounds carefully to help in breaking the "wheel".

Marrying a local princess and/or adding thousands of horse archers to your own army doesn't hurt. Wink

In archery we have three goals; to shoot accurately, to shoot powerfully, to shoot rapidly.
