Micheleh, Daio has done wonders with the out-of-the-box Poser horse, you should check out her poses and textures. Bloodsong and Shlabber have also worked with the horse. (Bloodsong has neat blankets which can go to the ground and cover most of the poor beast's problems!) The horse, cat, and dog ALL need to be replaced in Poser 5. They are ancient models (from Poser 3) and simply not up to today's workmanship. We fervently hope that Daz will make new models. Carolly
