WIfPdsVdRwY The stuttering you see when the horse is turning is due to bad fps/stutter in my game.   Requirements   HDT Physics Extensions by HydrogensaysHDT

Recommended   Hale - Horse Retexture by Halendia

Compatibility   Convenient Horses - compatible, see bug solution below.   Immersive Horses - this mod and my mod both makes changes to the Horse Race, you can put IH's esp later in your load order or make a patch.   Realistic Running Speed (or other movement speed mods)- put HorsesRevamped.esp later in load order

Bug Solution   Horses that are spawned for followers with Convenient Horses can sometimes appear invisible or have a stretched tail. There are 2 ways to fix this: 

  • []You can disable follower horses in Convenient Horses MCM and use the horse whistle to call your horse. []You can use the optional file "Horses Revamped - Animations" instead of the "Horses Revamped - Full" version.
  Notes
  • []Unique horses like shadowmere and arvak won't have the new meshes but will use the new animations
