Donkeys are infinitely prettier and will distract the enemy with waves of cuteness! (but watch out for their tendency to fits of depression…) |

Best is Perry, Foundry and OG. Worst is Askari Minis. Had to take a pair of pliers to get the riders to fit the saddles. |

Well I misunderstood what the OP. Read twice post once. WHO makes the best cavalry mounts? I think you meant; WHAT animal makes the best cavalry mount? Using "who" makes it sounds like a figure manufacturer or sculptor. |
