Germans, Slavs and Steppe Ponies

Those pesky ponies from the Eurasian steppes have a abundance to answer for. They're only small, however on their backs have sat warlike horsemen who have swept in from the grasslands of central Asia to terrorize the poor ancient farmers of Europe (and of China, for that affair - however more on that another day). The Huns were one of the most well-known of these nomadic peoples to have spread panic far and wide, and they were followed by Avars, Bulgars, Magyars and a whole host of less well-known hordes.
