Following the comment by Mehmet about the Thespiae stele under my 2013 posting on the Ancient Greek Cavalryman I am posting the image of that Thespiae horseman (from University of Michigan Library Digital Collection) - 

the article about the Athenian cavalry in Sicily is made available on Academia by its author, Annalies Koolen.(or at Research Gate).
