Spears are a useful weapon for attack enemies on horseback, as the reach of the spear negates the height advantage gained by riding a horse. Well crafted spears are also reasonably aerodynamic, and can therefore be used as a throwing weapon if necessary, and the spear 'family' encompasses other types of spear such as javelins, which are better suited for throwing.
