If a cavalry model is standing behind a low wall which would partially obscure a foot model, does an archer shooting at him have to be able to see just the rider, or does he have to see the horse as well? My friend and I were playing a game today and this issue came up. I looked in the rulebook to clarify but it didn't say. Maybe I just missed it, but if not, can someone clarify for me?

The rules are very simple, you just need to follow them for all situations. If you can see part of the target you can shoot it, if part of the model is obscure you need an In the Way roll to shoot it. |

Thirded! The cavalry model is considered one model, not two. so if the mount is obscured, then the whole model is obscured. In your example you have to take an in the way roll for the wall, then if the arrow hits the cavalry model you roll to see if it hits the horse or the rider. |

Yeah, like the others have said, you only have to see the rider, but you can only shoot at the rider. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that's what what everybody was saying.  They're saying (muslimrohirrim pointed this out) that the model is one person not two seperate bodies. Just think of it as a really tall man. If it's partially obscured, then it's in the way. But you can still hit the horse even if the horse is completly obscured because it's all one model.
But I may be wrong...

nope, if you only see the rider, then you only see part of the cavalry. no clear shot!!
