Because this Bes figurine (the only one of its kind that I've seen) is of Bes wearing a muscled cuirass and carrying an aspis a sword while riding a horse.Why do you think the Bes figurines are heavy cavalry? By far the most common Bes type for the 2nd century BC is a cuirassed thureophoros, or thorakites.
