📋 About This Mod
A collection of patches for Phantom Horse and various horse replacers. I adored Smooth's new Phantom Horse mod and the ability to zoom around on my horse and got inspired to create this patch hub for various horse replacers. For new mounts, see Phantom Horse - New Phantom Mounts.

There is also an option for a ghost Arvak, which is as close as I can get visually to matching Arvak the Ghost Horse.
There is a patch for Arvak Burning Hooves Restored - Cut Content Restoration, which can be used with any Arvak replacer. Do not use this patch if you are using any of the new mounts available on the Phantom Horse - New Phantom Mounts page. Use the patch that will be provided on that page instead.
