Napoleon could be considered the "revolution on horseback" because his conquests did help to spread the ideas of the revolution. Instead of making Europe into a French Empire he sparked nationalist feeling all across Europe. He was the cause of the abolition of the tottering Holy Roman Empire which eventually assisted in the creation of a new Germany. His impacts all over Europe as well as across the Atlantic could cause him to be considered as the "revolution on horseback."
It is questionable as to whether Napoleon was really the "revolution on horseback". If one does indeed consider him worthy of such a title, they would tell you that he helped spread revolutionary ideas throughout France. However, some to this day think that many of the actions he took during the revolution were for his own selfish ambitions and not for the betterment of France.
