Horses

I have absolutely no idea where else to put those:

they are ~ 1:50 and fit perfectly with 35mm minis like Reaper or Black Scorpion. If you want to know how they looked like, when I found them, klick here.

Far less active than I used to...

They are lovely especially considering how they started their life - I take it they were relatively cheap too. Any idea were I can find some. Great too just as terrain pieces out in the fields.

I wouldn't call them cheap but they were definatelly not expensive. The left one came from SIKU, a die cast car company. A pir of horses usualy comes with a 1:50 horse-trasnporter, but they also once were sold seperately in sets of 2 for 2,60 Euros. The horse sets are not sold anymore, but you can still order single horses drom their website:

The horse pencils are sold at bookshops for about 3 Euros and come from the Pferdefreunde (horse friends) line of Spiegelburg. You can also order them from German Amazon (i just tried British and US Amazon and was unable to locate the pencils there).

They also are not the easiest to paint, the SIKU one is plastic weakener free but very flexible rubber, and the pencil ones make spray on dullcoat tacky.
