A seriously shooty, attack and run army. Looking for advise on where I can improve, especially if you've run an all horse army before.

Knight of the Pelennor Field (Armoured Horse)
- 6 Westfold Redshield with throwing spears
- 3 Rohan Royal Guard with horse

Erkenbrand, Captain of Rohan (Horse)
- 5 Westfold Redshields
- 3 Rohan Outriders with horse

Eorl the Young (as Elfhelm)
- 6 Westfold Redshield with throwing spears
- 2 Sons of Eorls

Rivendell Knight Captain (Shield)
- 10 Rivendell Knights with shields

39 models, 31 bows (11 are elven)

The plan is for Erkenbrand's warband and the rivendell knight warband to shoot whilst Eomer and Elfhelm hit and run.
When the opponents numbers are down it will be the rivendell knights straight in with their lances.

That is a lot of bows! It looks good. My only concern would be certain hold - ground type scenarios it could be tough

In hold ground I guess I just got to fan out into somewhat of a circle and hope to kill him off quickly because cavalry stuck still for too long is dead cavalry except perhaps the sons of eorl and knights.

I am thinking of adding 2 mounted Rangers of the North in place of perhaps a few Riders of Rohan? I think they would be much needed might for heroic moves. Thoughts?

i haven't read about the elf cav rules but allied warbands have their own 1/3 bow army.

Rivendell knights have 100% bow limit.
