Apart from the fact about the climate, as the person above said, mounted archery wasn't found at this part of Europe. The closest thing there was the presence of genitours, light cavalrymen with javelins, like the Berber unique unit.

Instead, it was more likely to be found among the archers of England, with longbowmen on horses either shooting loose volleys from the saddle (not while galloping, while still]), or dismounting to fire. Also, many northern european armies used mounted crossbowmen.

Mind you these cases occured during the Late Middle Ages (1250-1500AD).
