more stuff for animals. like more than one type of saddles for horses. the libraries have clothing for the charaters, but none for animals. in a way, stuff like saddles, bridles and blankets are "clothes for a horse. and leashes and collars are "clothing for both cats and dogs.

Horse harness is another example of something which is partly a conforming garment and partly not, for the reins do not follow the horse's neck and chest but hang in a loop between the horse's nose and the rider's hand. Posing the reins seems to be another example of wanting to be able to pose a long thinnish object by having it as one segment with the curve property and letting the user specify its position and attitude at various places along its length, rather than by dividing it into long uncooperative serpents of many jointed segments, after the temper-trying times I have had with my flamethrower's backpack harness which I had to make as long "tails" of many segments with the "curve" property. And the reins are a closed loop, and the "I want to make a circular IK chain" matter surfaces again. How to pose the harness (both the reins and the parts that conform to the horse) when it is not on the horse but is in the harness room spread on a table or hanging from a hook?
