Preferably the sort that would be pulling a freight wagon rather than fancy show horses.
I like ducks

Lemme know if you find a source.  I could use some more too since hosses are the primary non-railroad form of transport in my 1905 era.

Both Preiser and N Scale Architect (in their Shire Scenes line) have a variety of freight and goods wagons some of which come with draft horses.  Not sure if the horses are sold separately. 
Here are some samples (almost all "out of stock" as I write this) from Walthers

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

Artitec offers some nice horses, but they are a little pricey.  https://www.dm-toys.de/en/product-details/Artitec_316.076.html

Noch and Woodland Scenics also offer horse collections. MBK had most in stock when checking a few seconds ago.

3D printed horses are pretty easy to come by.

There's a lot out on the auction site if you search for "1:150 horses".  I had to fill up an entire circus stock car with lightweight horses (and not go broke) and I got one of those 100 unpainted horses for like $12.   

If you're looking for perfect foreground models you can go Preiser or Woodland Scenics, but if you need a herd, this is a solution.  I've got some Noch ones for my logging skidder horses with harnesses already on them, but in this situation, when they are semi-concealed, these worked great





The same outfit does 100 of a lot of those, unpainted and painted, they are rather nice for large quantities at a reasonable price.

Also "Fun & Games " which markets those formerly known as Rustic Rails. 

http://www.scalefigures.com/  you will not see their N gauge stuff listed on their webpage.  Ask about 4 Harnessed Horses which is their NCV 3011.
