It may just be the photo's, but the horse looks quite small? Nice figure though - right up my street

Russian regular light cavalry (hussars & lancers) used horses to grow at the withers not less than 2 arshin and not more than 2 arshin 2 vershok.
1 arshin = 711.2 mm ( 2 1⁄3 ft)
1 vershok = 44.45 mm (1 3⁄4 in)
those horses with a height of 1422-1511 mm.

Have a look at some of Fenton’s Crimean War photos. When horses are in short supply you ride what you can get. I’m sure this applies to Bonapartes time.

Absolutely Andrew - I had a particular photo of Fenton's in mind afterwards and given the way horse stocks are apparently still showing the after effects of decimation caused by Napoleon's cavalry you are probably correct in your assessment - Just my opinion obviously; I'm sure others will disagree - one of the delights of modelling a by gone era

In addition to information about army light-cavalry horses.

"Hippological atlas for visual study of a horse." (Иппологический атлас для наглядного изучения верховой лошади)
Author: Chief of the Nikolayev Cavalry School Major-General Bilderling. 1889


The color of the table is the Don gelding, improved (мерин донской породы, улучшенной). Growth at the withers is indicated by arshins (в аршинах) and in meters.


A light cavalry horse: [a height of] 2 [arshin] 1 1⁄2 - 3 [vershok];


Don horse [regular, not improved]: the height is no more than [2 arshin] 2 vershok.

These were the main breeds of horses for the russian line light cavalry of the 18-19th centuries.

I've got you some templates:

Trumpeters of the Russian Uhlans were marked by tears on the sleeves and did not wear uniforms in "reverse" colors like the French.



Uniform facings of the different regiments...:




Cheers

An absolutely beautiful figure in 54mm. Like everything about it.

And to the size of the horse ...:

Sergey is right!

Cossack horses were allowed to be even smaller (1,40 m and smaller ...)






Cheers

Is this Lancer trumpeter figure still available? I did not see it on the Chronos website.

That's a superb piece and I love the 'haughty' face on the soldier.

Lovely figure and a very colorful subject.

Horse size doesn't bother me here. Can't remember where but I remember seeing a dragoon, I think, on such a small horse his stirrups nearly touched the floor. Lovely figure - like the position and the stowage of feed bags etc - makes it stand out from the crowd. Love to buy one but the, ahem, conflict needs to end first I think.

Hello.
All my figures are limited editions. Approximately 50-100 copies. After that, I withdraw the figure from production. This figure was discontinued about 3 years ago.

Sorry for last message -I only checked the date of the original post after writing. I assumed because the thread had been replied to recently it was new. Shame it can't go back into production though?
