The base horse looks a lot like the ones from these Citadel figures:

There are some differences. Each of them has some added difference, though, so they might all be based on the same basic base. ("Base base base," so to speak.)

It looks sort of like the "Carolingian horse": http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.c...gHorseStand.jpg

Is this the rider? http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.c...File:DA69-1.jpg

If so, then he appears to be the DA69 Carolingian General, but on the "wrong" horse!

If that IS the figure, you appear to have the best, clearest image of one on the internet!

Edit: And then I run across this: http://www.solegends.com/citf/citfs/index.htm

Thanks to Richard Scott of Otherworld Games for pointing out many of the missing pieces.

Let's ask Richard Scott!
