📋 About This Mod
It's everyone's favorite equine dumbass, now with some added pounds of muscle. I've always been fond of the stockier breeds of horses like those found in Zelda and Skyrim. So I did a whole bunch of editing of the wild hunt horse model and managed to come up with this. The main one (ThickRoach) affects only the default Roach, and by extension, the devil version. Then the second (ThickRoach2) affects roach and the nilfgaardian stallion, while the last (ThickRoachPlus) affects most horses with the exception of the wild ones. FYI I didn't make this with the full body saddles in mind so there's bound to be clipping with some of those.

Minimal lower lip deformity. Tried to fix this but it's futile. As if Roach could get anymore derpy
