British in India - Irregular cavalry

Also known as Silladar cavalry, native troops were to provide their own horse and equipment. Although not intended as battlefield cavalry, they were useful for raids and reconnaissance. 

From the website British Empire:

As my collection is centered on the period up to 1845, Silladar cavalry became uniformed and were commanded by British officers. Uniforms are sketchy, but I have listed below a number of units I intend to add to the British-Indian army. 

Miniatures will be ordered from either the Blue Moon Sudan or Pathan list and with minor modification will serve as irregular cavalry.

From Mollo, the Indian Army:
