If you are talking about the vid I saw posted on here some where, they looked like Icelandic pony's to me

How The Hivewire Horse (harry) Came To Be.

Not so sure I'd let a small horse into my house since I really don't think you can teach a horse to do their business outside, instead of just wherever they happen to be, but that the horse is so small that it can easily get in through a large doggie door is just soooooo cute!
And those hooves are tiny.

I don't think you could house train but they do have bags they have behind harness horses so you don't have to clean up the roads (still, I'd hate to be taking care of that).
The Donkey my grandfather bought had a special place he'd do his business in the yard, it was great, you only needed to go to that area to clean instead of wondering around looking for it

Interestingly, I've heard of ponies being trained to be 'seeing eye ponies'. I know they tend to wear a sort of sneaker, so their hooves won't destroy floors, but I'm not sure about the house training part. The reason behind it, if you're wondering is because horses tend to live longer than dogs, and people become very attached to their service animals (not that people aren't very attached to their pets, but it's a whole other level). And also the process of getting some one a new seeing eye dog, is not always easy in terms of training both the dog and the person.
A friend of mine who is blind has been struggling ever since he had to retire his first seeing eye dog Vincent. (Vincent is still alive and well, but the service dog organization he came from insisted that he was too old to keep working). He still doesn't get around quite as well with his new seeing eye dog as he did with Vincent.
Here's a link to that Seeing Eye pony in the house Horses in your house

Here's a screen grab to show what animals are in the holding pen waiting for maps, final additive morphs, and rigging adjustments.
This is to illustrate still only a portion of animals that we have planned for the Ungulate. All spawned from Harry and... morphs and maps can be shared.
From left to right- Harry, Thoroughbred, Mule, Donkey, Spanish Bull, Dairy Cow, Zebra, Bighorn Sheep, Mule Deer Buck, Doe, Fawn, and Thistle (Stylized Fawn).

Ha, nice.
Can totally see us creating the elk, moose, reindeer, caribou, antelope and gazelle of all kinds. All from the Harry base! Just anding in prop horns and antlers.
Like the Elephant that we have modeled and is awaiting rigging, the Rhino will be a separate animal also. Just too unique to effectively morph from the Horse base. Though I would image it will start from the Horse mesh.

A mountain lion would have some fun with that big horn sheep and the deer.
And would love to see a Dusk Toreador with a red cape twirling!
Ooh rhino could be fun too ............ hehe I'm thinking 300.

I so want Bighorn!
Laurie has a big chunk of it mapped too. It's in her lineup. But Kitty first, and a hand full of other projects she's currently dancing with. I know she's hoping for a bit of a summer break in there somewhere also.
Hot Damn! Another family portrait.
Was asked to show our Thoroughbred against Harry so some of the differences could be seen better. So here you go.
Taller Thoroughbred and longer body, longer legs and taller hindquarters. These are the obvious differences between between the TB and Harry.

Yeah, sorry it's not what you're looking for.
But...
I stand behind this thoroughbred. It's been beta tested by others that know horses as you do. I've used some strong TB horses as reference and body guides also.
What is nice about Harry as the base, is that others can add in body and limb morphs that I've created with Harry, to aid in achieving a particular desired look.
It's like trying to achieve the right look in so many of the animals that I'm modeling. For example some say the Chihuahua needs longer limbs, while others say it needs shorter limbs, bulgier eyes, less bulgy eyes and so on. I do the best I can and still believe the results are solid.
Again, other morphs from the Harry base can be added in for more specific looks.

Sorry Chris, I didn't mean it to sound like a criticism, give him a bit of a parrot mouth and a red coat and it looks like the ex-racer I had
I guess I was just wanting something a little bit more different to Harry (Harry's such a great base, he already looks like a Warmblood/TB).
(regarding the Chi, I think you've done great. Bulgy eyes are a sign of bad breeding, they should be big but not bulgy)
