A companion to the Hinton Hunter and the Old Metal Detector blogs, dedicated to the first "true 25mm" figures of the Minifigs S Range, produced between 1968 and 1975.

Unlisted horse code H 7 grazing horse
Particularly useful for a General or an ADC perhaps?
This is one of the H series horses listed in the 75 Catalogue - one I've never seen as it happens - but this is my own note on the series.
H Series Horses These are ‘generic’ horses listed in the 75 Catalogue (loose leaf catalogue) as General Type of Horse - ‘Horses’ page Sheet 4. They are plainly the original designs from which the M and A series horses have been created. H1 Standing Horse H2 Trotting Horse H3 Walking Horse H4 Galloping Horse H5 Charging Horse H6 Rearing Horse H7 Grazing Horse H8 Pony Galloping
I asked Harry Pearson where the list coded HH of later horses came from on the S Range listings in Vintage20mil came from and he couldn't remember, so your comment moves things along a fair bit.
I only acquired this H7 not long ago and like you I had never seen it before.
I will amend the list I posted earlier and the title of thispost.
This site is one of a family of (currently) three blogs for people interested in old 20mm and "true 25mm" wargames figures. The others are the Hinton Hunter (concentrating on Hinton Hunt) and the Old Metal Detector (other manufacturers).
Minifgs S Range figures can be hard to identify with absolute confidence, partly through a lack of contemporary photographic catalogues, partly because the code numbers scratched on the underside of infantry figures' bases may be obscured by later basing or by filing, and because code numbers are not present on cavalry figures, while one Napoleonic Lancer looks very like another.
If you spot any mistakes in the attribution of any of the figures here, or can supply pictures for any of the figures missing them, I would be very glad to hear from you.
