This is the army of the Dunlending from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

The Dunlendings of Dunland are described as a primitive people. They hated the Rohirrim, who had driven them out of the Vales of the White Mountains and from the Western Plains of Rohan. Their two greatest attacks on Rohan were in Third Age 2758, when they were led by Wulf, and during The War of the Ring when they were roused by Saruman.

I have based the Dunlending Army on that of the Early Franks. The Dunlendings are described as being tall, swarthy and dark haired. While a 'primitive' people, the Dunlendings were also renowned horse thieves. All that prime Rohirrim horse-flesh could end up as mounts for a small noble class.
