I guess I should have said "somebody" instead of "we"... I'll work on something later on this weekend. Something like that requires lots of text...

Maybe on the fantasy side... some nice armor for him as well. And a set of blinders maybe? And maybe a one, two, or four horse hitch setup that we could use to attach to drawn carriages or such? Those are my thoughts. :)

Here's a rough drawn/sketched example of a four horse hitch :

There is this harness for Harry- Gypsy Wagon - A Ryverthorn 3D Creation

Awesome
If someone would make vascular displacement maps to go with the horse textures that are in the store I would buy the Horse and textures in a heartbeat. I like the muscle tone which lacks in the other horses IMHO. But I am always disappointed when I don't see the level of detail I want in my Animals.

I had previously asked this question on another thread (Show me the honey) and it was suggested to me that I pose it here on this one (I excerpted it from my previous post to save time):
I (along with some friends) write ongoing stories, fan-fiction and such in the fantasy genre; mostly for the amusement of ourselves and a few others (for now, as we are using this as a way to sharpen our story-telling skills for something bigger later?). I "illustrate" mine using 3D art, and therefore have to crank out quite a bit of it :D. I am not sure who does the poses for Harry, but thank you for them! As I am ALWAYS in a rush to get a project finished, pre-made poses are a great help to me.
As not every piece calls for heroic and powerful looking stances, and much of my stories are of "everyday" life (if there is such a thing in fantasy stories:laugh:), I was wondering if there was a possibility of some "everyday" poses for Harry? Different walking, standing and grazing poses, or perhaps some of Harry interacting with other Harrys, as I often do groups of people and their mounts (up to around 20 of them!)
I was also going to ask about barding and armor, but someone else has already done so (I soooo hope it gets completed!).
Thank you so much for considering our requests, I know this stuff is time consuming and truly appreciate the artists' efforts to create all of the wonderful items made available to us. I can't imagine even trying to create this stuff on my own.
:applause::thankyou2:

Ardennes horse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LOL, hey. I'm allowed to pipe dream... but he's gorgeous... and he's huge!

Someday I might take a stab at trying to pull that off... maybe if I started with the Beast horse..... ah, well. I just think that breed is absolutely gorgeous. :D
I wonder if a combination of the Shetland Pony and Beast would be close? (may still need to bulk it up a bit)

I'd also like to second FaeryLight on a good Merchant Resource for Harry so we can make and share/sell our own coats (I'd like to make some fantasy textures but I suck at the bump/spec/maps but can recolour something ok :p)

I've mentioned it before but I'd love some English Tack (like they use for dressage and jumping in the Olympics). And of course equestrian attire for Dusk and Dawn to match :D

And the suggestion of other mane options like braids etc would be great (and would compliment my English request hehehe)

I want to second the request for a way for Harry to better pull a cart. Turns out I have about 5 carts that I've accumulated from various prop packs, and one that I even got in a bundle for the Daz 2 Horse, but there's no good way to actually make it look like a horse is pulling any of them. They tend to not actually be scaled correctly, or have a way to attach them to a horse.

I do have the Gypsy wagon, and I love that harness, but as you can see it's still troublesome trying to get Harry to pull a cart.
