I couldn't find any so I assembled some from bits.

Those are Warbases carts loaded with Busch pumpkins, hay and cabbages made from Hobbycraft stuff with Rapier miniatures drivers. I can't remember who the donkeys are from. Possibly Alternative?

They fit with the theme of the army -- which is that the farmland witches create it from the stuff around them when they need it.

Cavalry I was really stuck for and didn't want to do that many conversions so I went with the chariots instead. There's a lot of "Headless Horsemen" but they're all character poses and there's usually only one in a range.

They look great Katie
 Might get a few 'headless horsemen', and bung a pumpkin on 'em!

I wonder if there's some reference I'm missing here but West Wind's killer scarecrows feel like they could be converted into cavalry. Their own photo is bad but there are slightly better ones online, and I think I have them painted here somewhere. :?

Reaper (as they often do) have a random and interesting selection of pumpkin-themed figures.

One cart but no cavalry, although there's loose pumpkins you could use for conversions of existing cavalry figures into pumpkin-headed monstrosities.

The Wars of Ozz line has pumpkinheads on wolf-like mounts. You can order them through the Wars of Ozz site or from Sally 4th.
