How to beat horse archers in real life?

In the real world you wouldn't want to try and defeat nomadic horse archers tactically. The real way to defeat them is strategically. You do this by killing their horses or destroying their food supply. Unfortunately this is exactly how the US defeated the plains Indians, its sad but it works.

If I was the leader of a nomadic people, I would send many scouts through all my territory, specialy in the bords. So that if some anti-echologic guys try to burn my pasture or kill my beloved horses, I would imediately send some troops to slay them. Yes, the steppes are realy huge places, but my enemies wouldn't destroy a significant part of its pasture without my knolodge.
Of course that is a good idea to kill horses or destroy their food supply once you enter the territory of your enemy, but I don't belive that this factor alone could destroy entirely a whole people. The leader of the nomadic people would not just watch their territory getting burned and horses killed.
Are you sure of your information?
