The Hobbit movies had dwarf cavalry riding goats, which I found to be a good fit despite the films' shortcomings - they dwell in mountains, and, like dwarves, are known for their beards.

In my setting, guns exist, but they're expensive, inaccurate, and difficult to make and repair, with none being smaller than an arquebus. For these reasons, most people don't bother with them when swords and arrows are a lot easier to come by and use. The armies of the most advanced nations...
