📋 About This Mod
UPDATE 1. 1:
Wild Horse Overhaul Pack 1 (in Optional files section). I created some custom coats for my personal native breeds to replace the wild horses you can find in the game, as it doesn't make any sense to me to find Arabians and Andalusians roaming around. Stats and names are changed as well. I won't specify or show in many details the new coats, I'd rather have you find them in your game. Have fun and let me know if anything is wrong.
It replaces:
-White Arabian.-Red Chestnut Arabian.
-Tiger Striped Bay Mustang.
-Perlino Andalusian.
-White Splashed American Paint Horse.
-Few Spotted Appaloosa.
-Warped Brindle Arabian.
DESCRIPTION
In this mod I wanted to create and improve some historical native american horses to the best of my abilities. Here are the details:
-American Paint Horse: Improved some things in the model, new coats.
-Appaloosa: Vanilla model, new coats.
-Choctaw Horse: Custom model and new coats.
-Mustang: Custom model and new coats.
-Nez Perce Horse: Custom model and new coats.
-Nokota: Custom model and new coats.
-Ojibwe Pony: Custom model and new coats.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 250 endorsements and nearly 15k downloads.
- Fills a specific niche for players wanting historically inspired horse appearances.

For players who want more historically accurate horse breeds and coats, especially those interested in Native American themes. It's purely cosmetic, so skip if you're looking for gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, you can preview the horse textures before installing to see if they match your game's aesthetic.
- Check if the mod requires any compatibility patches if you're using other horse mods.
- Since it's a texture mod, load order usually doesn't matter, but placing it after other horse mods can help ensure its textures take priority.
