If you're a great swordsman and a mediocre rider. On horseback you're a mediocre swordsman.
Your skill of fighting on horseback is limited to your horsemanship.
The bow legged nomad will triumph.

I suppose it makes sense that a literal lifetime of Steppe horsemanship should be inherently superior to bajutsu.
