There is no horse. The mold is too small for a horse. Four or five foot figures would have to be eliminated. Also the factory is leery of thick items. Mars is not very enthusiastic about the idea of 1/32 horses for similar reasons.
Only a couple of test painters have them yet so it is difficult to judge. On the small side there are the CTS horses and on the large side are the Deetail and TSSD horses.
Prince August home-cast molds are also a source for hoses.

Fear not my friends. I've discovered some SYW 3d printed figures quite by accident on Etsy. The chap who designed them is Felipe from Mexico, so our US friends can contact him. However, there is also Shane in England who runs Cheyenne Miniatures and produces Felipe's work under licence. So GB and the EU are catered for here. Have a look at Felipe's page first as it has most of his castings on. Shane does all of Felipe's casting gs but they're not all listed on Etsy. The figures/prices in the photos are for 28mm scale figures, but both Felipe and Shane can resize to 54mm. There are a few French Indian War figures and a range of British, French, Prussian, Austrian and Russian SYW figures - infantry, artillery and cavalry. There are some Grentz in there as well for Alan!!!!!! I got in touch with Felipe to begin with, but he put me in touch with Shane as I live in England. Shane even travelled down from Hull to meet me at Partizan show to discuss my order and is a great guy. My first order has just arrived - Prussian lights, Cuirassiers and Artillery, and the range covers most of the figures that HaT haven't/ won't produce yet. The figures are amazing - you'll have to take my word for it - photos later. And resized in 54mm - I gave Shane a HaT infantry figure do he could resize his figures to the correct size. Have a look guys. You WON'T be disappointed. Felipe's site contact address is: www.etsy.com/es/shop/Madox3ddesign?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listingShane's site contact is: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CheyenneMiniaturesAs these are resized to order, they are classed as special order, so you'd have to contact them via the message service on the site. You can only order 28mm on the site. For those of other persuasions, Shane (and I presume Felipe) can offer 15/18mm, 28mm, 40mm and 54mm scale figures. How's that for a find?!!!! If you do have a look guys, let me know what you think. I'm certainly hooked and am using these figures alongside my HaT ones. Have a great search

As the figures are specially resized, you can also choose how many/few of each type you like. You're not restricted to the unit sizes listed for the 28mm figures.
For figure costs in 54mm, you'll have to ask Felipe or Shane to give you a price. For me, the price was similar to the cost of Expeditionary Force figures. So, more expensive than HaT, but for me, a great price to fill in the gaps missing from HaT.
I was going to have all Austrian HaT units, but now think that I'll have some HaT Austrians mixed with the 3d Russians.

It looks like you can buy his 3D design files as well, and since I have a 3D printer...

So tempting! Thanks for letting us know about this and doing the light cavalry scouting role , so to speak. I will have a think and take it from there. The Grenzers have pushed me over the edge of deciding. Think l need to source the Hat Prussian inf too and add these special figures onto a cheaper plastic army .

Here are the artillery crew The foot figures Don't come with a base like plastic figures, so I've put some tiddleywinks underneath tge feet to help with painting. When finished, I can cover them up with ground basing material

Let us know how it goes. Can you give us an idea of figure cost and shipping?
