Very pleased with these figures - great detail for 10mm - in fact just great detail :)

Some of the horses have some extra lead from the casting process (this appears from the body of the horse to the base) - do people cut this away - if so how easy is it to remove?

Yes, it is easy to cut away with a scalpel, and in no way harms the durability of the figure.

Yep.

The feeds come away pretty easily, either with a pair of snips, or a bit of pressure on a craft knife should do it.
