I started on the horses. Just the troopers' horses for now, the officer's horse is dressed differently so it will be last. I've decided on chestnuts for the troopers and MrsG decided on a grey for the trumpeter. This doesn't fit exactly into the designated squadron horse colours for the 6th but they're on campaign, you take the horse that's still alive.
Please excuse the blueness, that's what snow does to the natural light in the morning
The correct parade ground horse colours are :-
1st Squadron (Elites) - Black with the Colonel on a grey
2nd Squadron - Chestnuts
3rd Squadron - Chestnuts/ bays with the officer on a grey.
4th Squadron - Greys
While the last wash was drying I started playing with the riders so they've also advanced a little more, and more festive (If you're a fan of that US soft drinks manufacturer's logo colours). I know that will please Peter
They're all coming along quite nicely I feel
