The Sarmatians were reputed to be great horseman. It will be interesting to find any equine remains in the burial and if those remains are similar to any existing horse breed or breeds still existing today.

They were great horsemen. After they were defeated, cornered, and forced to capitulate by the Roman army, their equestrian skills were exploited as auxiliary forces — in Britain, where they couldn’t ride off anywhere.
