Here's an aspect of the scenario I described above that I still don't understand: why didn't the horse/rider pairs I'd so painstakingly posed and saved to the figure library load into the new scene file in precisely the same poses?

It took me forever to get each rider's hands positioned on the reins in a way that resembled the way my friends and I hold reins when trail riding, but when I loaded the horse/rider pairs into the new scene, neither rider's hands were actually touching the reins. Their feet were also no longer properly placed the stirrups but a few inches below or to the side of them. And one of the horses had her mane sticking straight up, instead of split to the right as I'd saved her with.

I swear if I didn't already have so much time, money, and effort invested in creating my graphic novel with Poser, I'd just ditch the graphic part and write the dang thing in words!
