There are illustrations of crossbows being used from horseback in late Medieval times, one featuring the Emperor Maximillian. The bolt was held in place by a swivelling clip made of feather quill or horn, essential for use on an unstable platform. It isn't clear how such weapons would be spanned on horseback. Mounted crossbowmen might provide one possible explaination of the escort of balistarii (and cataphracts) described accompanying the emperor Julian by Ammianus.
