Rashi: Shok refers to one who rides a horse, for he does not support himself on his Yarech (thigh), rather, on his Shok (calf); one foot is in the iron holster that hangs from the saddle. Radak - Yarech refers to one who rides a horse. Lev Yitzchak - Ramban (Vayikra 1:16, b'Sof says that sometimes the Targum reverses the order. (Perhaps here he changed the order and wrote with, to teach that "Al" implies after (first he killed Yarech, i.e. those on horses). "Al Olas ha'Tamid" (Bamidbar 28:10) means after the Tamid - Rashi 28:10 and Sifsei Chachamim, from Sifri Pinchas 144. - PF)
