Hy to all, i need to animate an horse with a man on it; so i need to view a running horse ridden from a man. How can i make this in poser 5 ? (how can i animate an horse) Thanks. xman Trust No One

There is a horse trot animation on the content CD. Failing that I have nine horse animations included with my [low polygon horse model](http://www.philc.net/lowpolly2.htm) that will work with the Poser horse.

Hehehe instant Muybridge flashback :)

Yep, I used Muybridge's photographs. Even now they are considered to be some of the best.

nods I still have the two ceedees I bought back in the day for my Amiga CDTV, Animals in Motion & Woman in Motion. Come to think of it.. I still have the CDTV aswell :)

ImageForge (I think) used to have a few extra horse sets to add to the PoserContent (walking, running, galloping) and I think Bloodsong's Heavy Horse also cam with a full cycle (or 2)

Did you need references with the rider as well as the horse? If so, Muybridge is your man, he did photo sequences of ridden horses at various paces including canter and gallop. Check Amazon for book titles/ISBN then request one or two from your local library (I'd give you titles myself but I'm not at home at the moment so I can't look at my own books). You'd still have to dial in all the poses manually, though. Does the Defenders pose set include enough poses to put together a complete sequence, anyone know?

Ok guys, i've made it... the horse gallop in poser. Now i need to add the rider. (and i think it's not very simple) See you later. Bye xman
