It's definitely not a book for kids; it has sexual themes and violence and some other things. Maybe young adult? I'm not sure what year I read it in, sorry, sometime after 2005 probably.
It's completely fiction, think there are probably fantastic elements to it.
Oh, wow, the description for this book sounds really similar, but no, I don't think so, thank you though. She wasn't a knight, and if it was in a series it must have been the first book.
Also not Shiva. She was a bit older, I think, and horses were a REALLY IMPORTANT theme in the book. Thanks again though.
Long shot but 'Scorpio races' by Maggie Stiefvater?
Sounds like a culture similar to the Mongols or the Huns? I have no idea, but that might give a direction for searching.
"Scorpio Races" is too new of a book; I read this years ago. It's not Dark Horse, but thanks for both of the suggestions! You're right in that the culture was similar to the Mongols or Huns, but I don't think it was actually either of them as it was a fiction book.
Wind Rider
?Or,
Something from the Epona series

The book is about a tribe of people that rely on horses, but women aren't allowed to ride and are generally considered inferior. The main character is a woman, she learns to ride, and eventually escapes the rest of the tribe. I think she becomes a shaman or something like that, and I distinctly remember a scene in which she drinks out of a cup she made from someone's skull.
