I think I have found some even if not as clear as saying "...and thus Vinga gained her bow skills." This is actually a piece taken from Nick Effingham's Elmal write up.
"The cult associates freely with Orlanth, Ernalda, the local Grain Goddess, Hippoi and Vinga, who had many adventures with Elmal in Godtime."
Could it be that Vinga learned this stuff from Elmal ? Or riding even from Hippoi ? This would explain why she should be better in riding than male warriors and give her bow skills.
