Horseboys, whilst typically acting as squires for Irish Nobles, are also capable fighters themselves. They show great horsemanship riding without stirrups or saddle and can throw javelins with deadly precision. While fast and agile, Horseboys avoid close quarters fighting due to their lack of armour.
