Riding Animation Overhaul - RAO (OAR - DAR)

Ever wondered why your character (yes you) has the audacity to judge followers- no names mentioned- claiming to be terrible at riding a horse but in reality everyone rides like a s'wit? Me too, so I made a replacer.

🐎 Requirements:

• None for the main version, it'll work out of the box.

• DAR/OAR if you're using a gender-specific or player only version. Keep in mind this mod won't show up in OAR's menu, but that doesn't mean it's not working. This is because I used the DAR folder format, but OAR can read DAR conditions.

• Light Horses of Skyrim, Witcher Horse Expansion, ZZjay's Horse Overhaul (all great replacers for different tastes).

• Craftable Saddles from Witcher 3-- seriously this is awesome and very underrated.

• Horse Animation Overhaul

• Horsepower (load HAO after Horsepower if you use it)

✍️ Update Log:

1. 1 - Tweaked leg positioning so toes point slightly outward and left leg no longer clips with basic saddles, smoothed and retimed gallop and lope animations to flow better, adjusted idle.

1. 2 - Added combat animations, added turn animations (normally only seen in use with NPC's), even more tweaking, including editing feet positions to be consistent for each speed, retimed trot, adjusted hands for trot and lope.

1. 3 - Added idle rear-up and jump animations, tweaked idle animation to keep similar hand position as walk animation for a smoother transition.

1. 3. 1 - I may or may not be an idiot-- Same as 1. 3 but no more t-posing from unconverted animations. 😐

1. 4 - Adjusted base riding animations to flow more naturally. Reframed most animations so that they should now be in exact sync with your horse.

2. 0 - Run and trot forward now have left/right animations, lots of animation tweaks, adjusted idle, and several framerate fixes on some of the main animations.

📃 Notes & Extras:

• Safe to install/uninstall midgame. No Nemesis/FNIS generation required. If you're experiencing a bug, it's most likely caused by something else since this replaces vanilla content, but I'm open to concerns.

•  Animations are more or less visually compatible depending on your setup. The way Skyrim horses were built makes it nearly impossible to have no clipping and/or feet + hands in the correct position at all times (i.e. in stirrups, on reins, etc.). However, I did my best to where this should fit most horse and tack replacers (honestly with about as much or less clipping as vanilla animations), as well as vanilla horses and tack. Currently considering work-arounds for this.

• I built these animations to resemble how you would ac
