Cavalry of many nations used two methods, recurve bows (that throw arrows faster, and so harder) or composite construction bows.using bone, antler and sinew instead of wood. Most composites are also recurves. Stronger materials to make a stronger bow. There is one way to use a long bow from horseback, make your bow like the Japanese bows, long top limb, short bottom limb, usable from horseback or while kneeling.
