the saddle makes using horses esier

moroccans of ancient times basically

moores*

@ManAnimal hi

and it makes horses far more rpactical

today's women are too busy trying to be inadequate men

no

morrocans so called of ancient times

were mauretanians

and moors arent native to morocco

int he least

i thought numidians were from the same area

they are a halfbreed race

spawned by arabs

anyways the entire westtern part of north africa

is mauretania

with egypt in the east

women can't deal with arabs

heh

in any case

saddle wasn't necessary for horse riding

and the carthaginian army used mercenaries from pretty much every neighboring natio

but it made it easier, i guess i could agree

except of course carthage

because carthaginians didnt serve in the army

least not en masse

i dont think mongols had saddles either

without a saddle you can easily get unseated

stirrups, i dunno about that

and then youre dead

mongols got off easy

they didnt use traditional horseman

they were horse archers

little armour

no spears

no close ocmbat

even the ancient greek hetaroi (the companion cavalry that charged as part of the hammer in hammer anvil tactics) didn't have saddles

didnt have to worry about being unseated

didnt have to worry about transporting much

alexander's hetaroi

mongols had lancers
