I'm looking for quite a lot of standing ponies (plastic or metal) suitable for markers for my Sioux Indians when they dismount – so no saddles, bare-back or just a blanket. Dixon Miniatures sell suitable horses separately but only 1 standing version, so would be good to have some variety. Any suggestions? |

Dixon was the company that sprang to mind for me, sorry |

Sgt. Major Miniatures has a set of 4 horses without saddles, but only 2 are standing. Maybe contact Andy & see what he can do for you. link |

ertl makes a plastic 1/64 horse in a variety of colors. no saddles. We use them as a marker when a cowboy dismounts or if one is available to mount. They are a little small for 28mm but serve their purpose. Also great for a horse rustling scenario I have in mind but has not come to fruition yet. Found mine in one lot from an ertl collector of some kind in Minnesota I think |

In plastic side, the only thing that I could think are the small horses in Wargames Factory sets of ancient Celt and German cavalry. Those have separate saddles, so you can assemble them without. However, I have a feeling that they are more likely to be in moving rather than standing poses. |

Found the original box from my horse purchase. The seller was from Wisconsin, but I have not been able to find his website. May have stopped selling. |

Wargames factory is defunct, but you may well be able to pick up their horses on ebay. Warlord Games might offer some of those sprues retail as well. I've got them and the horses are in motion. You'd have to convert the legs. Perry offer a few sets with stationary horses in them. ACW9 Union Horse Holder and ACW10 Confederate Horse Holder, for example, although in both cases the horses are saddled. Another possible source are toy farm animal sets, though getting the right scale is always an adventure. Once cleaned up and painted even the cheapest polythene farm or zoo animal can look pretty good! |

Hmmmm, that's a good idea, mrinku, much appreciated all. |
