Not All Horses Are Created Equal

A few years ago I owned the most amazing horse. He was a Thoroughbred ex-racehorse - a true gentleman. We took each other eventing - he had an awesome, huge jump. He knew exactly when I wasn't going to make it, and would stop for me to get myself together and carry on! He was the best horse I'd ever ridden. I never really got over his loss and I haven't ridden much since.

Yesterday, I thought I'd go and take a look at what Fiona Branagh was doing. Just, out of the blue, I needed a break from building. I already own her Friesian horse and thought I might see what she'd been working on recently. Well - she's released a Thoroughbred sporthorse - and it's the spitting image of my horse. After I tried the demo, I was absolutely amazed. This is the most realistic looking, and MOVING horse I've ever seen in SL. I thought her Friesian was good, but this horse is a whole lot more personal to me :)

Take a look at the images below to see just how well done the movement on this horse is. I can't wait to try him out with a saddle! ~Alecto
