That's the Carthaginian Sacred Band Cavalry, and a very pretty one

About the shield symbol, Urnamma wrote: "opaque white five pointed star in the center (Astarte’s holy sign)". I think I dunno this five pointed star (israeli one?) but the one now has 8 points.


A couple more details Prometheus: the sword is missing (hanging around the waist maybe?) as well as the lamelar armour around the horse's front:



And finally, is it possible for the horses to be black as Urnamma suggested (white would look cool too if black doesn't work out)?

About the armour, Sacred Band Inf wore iron cuirasses indeed so the resemblance to their cav counterparts shouldn't be that difference in what armour concerns. However, if you're sure that would be extremely uncomfortable to use, Steppe Merc, maybe we could use a lamellar armour or even linen. The muscled cuirass looks d*mn cool though... :P
