You don't even need any mounted combat feats or even much of a Ride skill for this to be a valuable tactic, although they help. Archery feats are your best investment. Rapid shot is fantastic. If you are cooperating with melee combatants, Precise shot is very good. On the open plains, where an attack/retreat/attack/retreat tactic is really amazing, Mounted Archery and Far Shot may be actually useful (they arn't much use for a normal adventurer). Instead of Far Shot, though, consider using Swiftwing arrows (Races of the Wild).As to what classes your horse nomads should be, almost anything works, but the obvious choices are ranger or fghter. For cleric or druid archers, I strongly reccommend Zen Archery.</blockquote>
