The horses used are Calpe horses, but possibly also Copplestone horses can be used.
Both Calpe and Copplestone sell their horses without riders.

The figures will be sold through Company B and – maybe – Caliver Books.

If not Caliver, Cuprum will find another English agent.

The figures are meant to depict Polish cavalry operating along the Eastern Borders, in Galizia or Ukraine.
The riders are shown in Austrian uniforms, and the idea comes from the photos below and other contemporary photos.

Small Polish battle-group with captured Red flag – somewhere on the Eastern Borders or Ukraine.
As can be senn, the uniforms are a mix. The cavalry in Legion/Austrian uniforms, the commanding officers in something like the 1919 uniforms, the nearest young officer seems to have the pre 1919 "treffle" shoulder distinctions and being a former member of the Polish Legion (he has the Polish "wezyke", silver zig-zag band running at the bottom of his collar) – and the infantry in the background in a mix with and without greatcoats.
