That's fantastic! They look like antelope of some kind. Really amazing!
It was about half an hour after posting this I saw a picture of a horse in armour with horn decorations. I completely forgot those existed for a second there

Slingers in horseback? Wouldn't the release cord get caught up in the horse's legs?
With the right technique I wouldn't think so. Some testing might need to be done, but, even with a fairly long sling, you could use helicopter and catch the pouch (you would have to drop the reigns but not impossible) and, though it's not the most accurate source and this is interpretation, it might be that the slingers in that above picture are using either an underhand or overhand technique, both of which could be controlled so the cord wouldn't get tangled.
