whe walk designer is great for making a two leged figure walk but how do you make a 4 leged one walk? right now I am working with the Mil Horse.

I think there might be a tutorial over on DAZ about walk cycles for quadrapeds... Cliff Bowman did one, I'm sure... it might not fit into Walk designer (I'm not sure), but it's worth a look... I;ll see what I can root out for ye... rummages
Here you go... http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/tutorial/tutorial/-/?id=922
It's titled "Designing Custom Walk Cycles"... it uses the Girl as an example, but the principles can be used with any character, apparently.
Hope this helps,

that tuts not really able to be done with a Quadraped. Is it possible to buy a walk cycle for the horse? When I try and do it manually all i get is Mr Edd on crack.

It's as easy to do with a quad as it is a biped... you just need the reference material to be getting started with. Which part of it is it you have difficulty translating from two- to four-legged creatures?

I cannot undestand why Poser still don't have tht option in the walk designer, I thought they are going to make it in ver 7.

There are animal walk cycles in the Free Stuff, I'm almost positive. I remember an elephant, and a whole series of horses, possibly by Haigan?
