Eh, several horsemen managed to pull that. Gokturks ally of heraclius invade Persia through Caucasus. Arabs managed to conquer Armenia and raided Khazars from South to North. And Azerbaijan is conquered by both Arabs and Turks, its population now Turkic-speaking. It seems possible that there are well-known pass that good enough for nomadic horsemen to use as highway.
 
Um, this is quite key to the TL I'm writing. Sure it may not seem practical but it works perfectly fine.

I agree with you on this one, but I can also see where Dathi is coming from. It's definitely riskier for nomadic horsemen to take on mountain-based communities than on open plains, but it isn't a foregone conclusion.
