Hello,

The first thing I notice is the back and front legs are moving at the same time so it looks like two people in a horse costume walking together.

I would suggest offsetting the animation so it looks more natural. Watch real horses and pay attention to how the front and back leggs move at different times.

Take it Easy,

Justin

You should probably find footage of a horse walking and look at it frame by frame to see how it moves… At least that’s what I would do. :slight_smile:

You have some spacing issues with the head.
Try and track the tip of the head and it should be fairly easy to correct.

I like how you added more ups and downs on hip and shoulder. That helped a lot!
Could still use a bit more flexiblity in the spine, some squash stretch of the back.

Maybe the shoulder hit a bit too hard into it’s down postion. It pops a bit :slight_smile:

But nice work so far, I like it.
