Cavalry Recruitment Reforms
If a man can ride, who cares where he found the horse?The aristocracy provided the bulk of the Sassanid Savaran, or cavalry forces. Initially this was restricted to the upper echelons of Azadan nobility, so the standing army of Sassanid cavalry remained limited. The reforms of Khosrow changed that, however. Firstly the Dehkans - lesser nobility - were allowed into the Savaran, which greatly swelled the ranks of the elite cavalry as well as the domestic forces of light horse. They were also paid a regular wage and treated as a real standing army. Khosrow also increased the recruitment of mercenary forces to swell armies in time of need.
