Can you identify these (possibly) LEGO horses?

Question

We got these old LEGO-compatible horses from the LEGO collection that used to belong to my wife's brothers (which means they are probably 20-30 years old). I'm wondering if they are genuine LEGO pieces.

If not, I wonder what brand are they.

Either way, I wonder which set, if any, they belonged to.

I think there was another black horse, which I couldn't find, and some or all of them also had a brown saddle part.

EDIT:

I managed to take a good photo of the stamp on the black horse, so it's definitely genuine LEGO.

Answer 1

Those horses look like legit LEGO-brand horses.

Specifically:

White Horse with Black Eyes, White Pupils and Dark Orange Bridle Pattern: 4493c01pb04

Black Horse with Black Eyes Circled with White, Brown Bridle Pattern: 4493c01pb02

In order to be extra sure they are genuine LEGO, look for the "LEGO" stamp on the inside of the hollow studs on their back where the saddle goes (it's a little hard to see).

These horses each came in a fair number of sets. Check the BrickLink links for a list of possible sets. If you are sure they both came in the same set, these are the sets both came in:

• 5394-1
• 6021-1
• 6042-1
• 6055-1
• 6073-1
• 6074-1
• 6080-1
• 6081-1
• 6085-1
• 6086-1
• 6090-1
• 6095-1
• 6419-1
• 6761-1
• 6762-1
• 6769-1
• 8777-1
• 10039-1
• 10176-1

Answer 2

They are:

LEGO Animal Minifigure - WHITE HORSE

and

Horse (Black) - LEGO Animal Minifigure

But if it does not have the logo or part ID then it must be a copycat.

Answer 3

Since you are asking for a set too, I remember playing with this sort of horse long ago.

Mine was the horse of a knight, like in this set.

Answer 4

I owned these two medieval castle sets as a child. Both came with different coloured horses (white, brown and black).

There are also a number of knight sets containing horses, for example this one.
