On the left is a picture of a Turkish horsebow quiver.  The arrow quiver is on the right and the bow case is on the left.  I wanted to make a horsebow quiver and used this as the exemplar.

 

On the right are two versions of this quiver.  The one on the right is close to a copy.  I changed the central design to be a triquetta which is my symbol.  This quiver has arrow loops inside which the original had as well.  These kept arrows from bouncing out of the quiver while galloping on a horse.  I found over time that the short quiver tended to tip and dump arrows when I leaned over a bit so I made the one on the left.  This is the same basic design but just a bit longer.  The original quiver and mine on the right (short one) have a gusset making the quivers about 2 - 3 inches wide.  My longer version has no gusset and is basically envelope style.  Nevertheless it still holds about 18 arrows confortably without jamming them in.

 

I have since learned that a true short horsebow quiver has a weight in the bottom keeping the quiver upright so the arrows don't dump out.  Many horse bow shooters use arrows signifacntly longer that most archers.  (They tend to draw to the ear or even further back whereas most archers draw either to the eye tooth in the upper jaw orr the jaw bone.)  That makes the quiver significantly heavier though and I didn't want the extra weight.  (OK, I'm lazy.  Get over it!)
