Nice find Theo,
However, I note that the horseman is indeed riding down a deer, with another one being caught by the man in front. There are no enemy warriors being ridden down. Thus you are right that these images from sarcophogi show hunting, but at the same time it suggests even more strongly that a solder shown riding down a fallen enemy warrior is being shown engaged in combat, not hunting.
