I use both, I much prefer the Hivewire Horse, the HWH has a few advantages over the Daz 2 horse for exaample it has a better collecttion of textures, its mane and tail are way better than the Daz horse. It is also needed for the Mule deer whichexpands its usefulness. The Daz Horse 2 does have the Dark Horse expansion which gives some awesome detail but it doesn't address the problem with the mane.
