I remember it. I even used something similar for Night Goblin Fanatics in my project of a Warhammer mod..

And in case of Pekhlevans - there is exactly one case in Shah-name where young knight had hit his own horse & was subsequently taken alive...

BTW, it alco contains 2 cases of knightly heroes who also performed their own astrological calculations, one of these being father of Rustam, the main hero of the epic...
