I have a .pz3 file (poser) that is a horse galloping (30 frame animation)

 I'm populating an ecosystem (in Vue 7) with that file. Works perfect.
Even every horse is of a different size. It's a horde crossing the prairies.

The only problem, they all move at the same time.
Is there a way to start every instance at a different keyframe?

The only solution I can see, is to create ex 4 animations not synchronized and to load them
as 4 different items in my ecosystem. I could even have different Horse Body Textures that way.
But it would be easy to spot that horses the same color are all galloping in synchro.

I would prefer the random solution

It seems that I can't edit my message if it's the starting message. So here is a picture.

Loading separate animated figures is how I do it, because like you I don't see any way around it. And I'd load two horses per body texture to confound the eye from seeing that they're the same.

But I'd love to hear that I'm wrong and that you can start different instances at different keyframes in Vue. That would be wonderful!
