The problem with that strategy is you can never stay too long in one place or you'll exhaust the food supply (for both your soldiers and your horses). If you're ever rebuffed and you don't have supply lines delivering you food, you just starve.

Also you have to stick to grasslands which is supposedly one of the other reasons why the Mongols didn't venture to deep into Europe.
