✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Makes the gang's horses look way more grounded and believable—great for immersion runs.
- Solid download count (11k+) and endorsements (269) show it's trusted by the community.
- Lightweight texture/model swap—no gameplay changes, so it's safe for most setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Only touches the Van Der Linde gang's horses—other horses stay vanilla, so the effect is limited.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a mod loader like Lenny's Mod Loader or Script Hook RDR2 installed to drop the files in correctly.
- If you're using other horse texture mods, load this one last to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's file structure—if it's a .rpf replacement, back up the original before swapping.
