Hi Andy,

Try this...

Make two bipeds and make their legs fit in the horses.create a footstep animation for both of them and watch their legs........ur horse has actually started walking.......!!!!!physique the horse pelvis down and a lil bitta tweaking will set it right......this is tried and tested.......

enjoy.......

Thats a CRAZY idea!, 2 bipeds?, like a panto horse? So you can physique/skin 2 bipeds?...I learn something every day.

andy, in your pic I noticed you also have extra bones coming from the top of the legs down towards the tummy area. Is this very important for horses?
