It sounds like you have a landscape commission with figures. I have found it helpful in such instances to use my landscape pricing with a fixed additional amount for each figure (including horses). The total still works out to be less than a portrait of similar size.

The images below show a case in point. The client liked the bottom image which I had sold as an equestrian landscape. She asked me to customize the scene to include the paint pony and team colors of the recipient from her excellent photo references. Pricing was pretty simple as I kept it close to the first with a small additional charge to work in her preferences.

The happy ending included a subsequent portrait commission!
