The new "Ninja Gaiden" is indeed a very challenging game (the old NES titles were challenging too, but not quite as much as the Xbox title). You must be fairly skilled at games to be able to beat it, it's not a game for newcomers. You must be patient, and learn the tricks of the trade. Have you checked out gamefaqs.com? They have a lot of helpful tips, tactics and walkthroughs, you should look at it if you need detailed help. Honestly, unless you're just looking for a serious challenge, stay off of any of the other difficulty modes besides normal. Yes, the new update of "Ninja Gaiden", called "Ninja Gaiden Black", has the option for an easier mode (though they fill you with much shame to use it!).
Basically, I can sum up the horsemen in the Hayabusa village like this: use your bow and arrows to defeat them. Stand by the ninja corpse which has the unlimited arrows in it, and then you can quickly and easily replenish your arrow supply when you get low. Just fire away; don't use the up close aiming, just keep firing, you'll just hit the horsemen eventually, and you have unlimited arrows this way. When the horsemen get near you, try to stay on the block, especially for the onces with lances, as they will spear you for a lot of damage, but they can't hurt you if you're blocking. Sometimes, when they turn around near the rocks, you can get in some quick hits with your sword on them from behind. When you finally dismount the samurai, then take them out with your sword. They always land on the ground when you dismount them/kill their horse, so if they land near you, use the Fiend Sealer move (just press Y near a downed enemy) and it should instantly kill them. You should practice up on fighting horsemen, because if you're having great difficulty with these horsemen here, then you will have a lot of trouble with the boss of Chapter 2, who is also a horseman, so practice up here. "Ninja Gaiden" is really not a difficult game once you learn it, and practice up. But as I said, you must be patient enough for this, or you will not be successful. Hope this helps.
