Well, the mane and tail would have to use one of the various systems we use for hair to look right in Poser. The stock horse has a solid tail that people have made transparency maps for, but there is just the one layer of mesh, something more is rtequired. The stock mane is just a bump on the top of the neck, that will never do either. Computers areen't powerful enough (yet) to do hair at the strand level, so some kind of a system is needed, most use a transparency map to simulate the individual hairs, at least at the ends, and possably texture maps for the main (mane?) part.
