For whipping. No, I'm actually looking for a Mfg. of such other than Foundry, I bought some of theirs back when they were a reasonable price. I aint gonna pay $6-7 apiece for dead animals. These are for my British forces fighting the Zulu's & Pathans. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Peter

Custer's Last Stand pack from Old Glory has 10 dead horses. Less than $2 USD each if you have the army discount.

Crusader has some dead horses in character packs. You might be able to negotiate individual castings.

Just bought some from Hinds (Hinchcliffe) and some from Front Rank. Both companies do an excellent job on these.

I used some left over horses and filed one side down and painted them. Works fine for me.

I haven't tried it, but rather than filing down a lead figure -- sounds tricky and a little dangerous to me -- could you glue a horse to a base and then use some sort of putty to build up around it a little -- for the same effect?

Have I read of horses dying having fallen to their knees, but "upright"? You'd need to get a horse with head down, or do some conversion on the neck.

Antietam, A Photographic History by William Frassanito has a picture of a horse dead on its knees. Amazon has 3 paperback copies for less than $15. USD

Knuckleduster has dead horses. They also have "hitching rail" horses, saddled horses just standing around.
