Regarding the claims that the Egyptians did not ride horses before the 8th
century BCE- that is an old notion which has been "disproven". A wooden
model exists of an Egyptian sitting on a horse found in a tomb and another
tomb had a bas-relief showing an Egyptian riding a horse (If I recall
rightly they were both of the New Kingdom period, ca. 1530-1200 BCE).

Incidentally, you are correct regarding the earlier domestication of the
horse and its utilization for riding rather than as a pack animal or a draft
animal. See (under HORSE IV).
