Dragoons on Foot

Does anyone know of a company that sells 28mm French dragoons on foot? My search of the internet has proven fruitless.

I am setting up a small skirmish project set in the Peninsula - kind of a Sharpe style fiasco - a handful of British rifles, some light troops, Spanish partizans, etc. I want to be able to allow a troop of dragoons to fight mounted or on foot. I'd be open to doing some conversions if anyone has ideas on thst direction too.

Thanks!

I have 3 old Hinchliffe (taken over by Skytrex) dismounted dragoons firing, but only the one pose was made, its quite a nice figure, though a little dated now. The only battle where I've read (Oman) that they were used dismounted in a defensive skirmish line would be Corunna french right flank where the 'ground was unsuitable for mounted cavalry' , but they would be great for skirmish games and cavalry outposts. I don't know as much about the main european theatre of warfare though...
