📋 About This Mod
The Vanilla dismounting animation lasts 2. 13 seconds. This mod shortens it.
Three options available: 25% faster (1. 63s), 33% faster (1. 43s) and 50% faster (1. 13s). I currently use the 33% version.
Optional file:
The Vanilla mounting animation lasts 1. 67 seconds. I've never found it annoyingly long but it does make some sense to shorten it a little as well.
Three options: 15% faster (1. 42s), 21% faster (1. 32s) and 30% faster (1. 17s). I currently use the 15% version.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (2,023 endorsements, 622k downloads)
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just faster dismounts
- Optional mounting speed-up gives you control over the experience
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches
- Only affects horse animations; no other gameplay changes
- Requires manual file replacement, which can be confusing for mod manager users
For Skyrim players who are tired of the slow horse dismount animation and want a quick, no-frills fix. Also great for those who want to speed up mounting as well. Skip if you're looking for more comprehensive horse overhaul or gameplay tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager, you can still install this manually by dropping the files into your Data folder—just make sure to overwrite when prompted.
- Test the mod after installing to ensure the animation speed feels right; you can always remove the optional mounting file if it's too fast.
- Since this edits .hkx files, it's compatible with most animation mods, but if you use other horse animation overhauls, load order might matter.
