One way or the other I guess. If Medieval 2 Total War did it http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Mounted_Crossbowmen_(M2TW_unit), I see no reason why a fantasy mod couldn't do the same.

Or we can assume that only the strong guys are able to use a crossbow on horseback, like it happened with English longbows.
