Does anybody know who sells horses for dismounted Napoleonic Cavalry like the Perry dismounted dragoons? USA preferable.
Thanks! |

Could you not use the horses from their plastic French Dragoons pack? They are pretty cheap. Other manufacturers seem to do horses without the horse furniture. link |

The horses with the dragoons are very much in action poses. For the foot ones you need stationary and a horse holder. Ideal would be the Perry ACW figures, little work needed eg; link |

Foremost, sold by Hinchliffe, UK. In my opinion, Foremost produce the best 28MM horses. |

What an interesting suggestion! They even do a dragoon horse standing……..
but are these not 25mm and noticeably small for Perry dragoons? If not….brilliant. |

In fact they are 25mm and exactly what I was planning to use for my dismounted dragoons. A bit smaller than Perry I should think but having read Paul Dawson's book on the French cavalry, I'm not sure that a slightly smaller horse wouldn't be closer to the horse size actually used by the French cavalry. |
