I purchased a lot of 16 horseholders and 16 horses,…so I now need to find about 48 more saddled horses, but no more horse holders. Anyone know of a source for (preferably metal) standing horses (saddled, as I mentioned above) in the 15-18mm range |

I didn't know about those Eureka horses. Nice find. When I have problems like this, I pick a manufacturer and contact the proprietor to craft a special order. Several companies offer packs of 1 horseholder + 2-4 horses; pick a pack you like, email the "contact us" link on their website, explain the problem, and ask for a bunch of the pack you like with another horse substituted for the horseholder. Sometimes there's a little back-and-forth negotiation, but in general miniatures manufacturers are small businesses run by fellow hobbyists who are understanding and amenable to making special orders for reasonable terms. - Ix |

To LGS and YA, thank you both. |

To LGS and YA, I ended up using advice from both of you. I went to the Eureka link LGS provided above and ordered their complete stock (10) of their tethered horses. When they turned out to be just what I wanted, I emailed the owner and asked whether, given a couple of weeks notice of just how many such horses (and any horse holders I wanted) they could have them ready for me to order so as to fill my needs in my need order (and not have to pay for multiple small orders.) Thanks to both of you again. Steve |

Forgot to say that he answer was to just give them two weeks or so notice and they could have available whatever quantity of both horses and horse holders. Sorry about that. |
