I prefer the mcleans horses too
but sadly no double riding on those

I think akk has the extra seat option...

wish mcleans would add it

AKK offers double rider saddles....my Partner and I have one if you would like to see it. :)

The options include the "passenger" either behind the rider astride, behind side-saddle, or in front of the rider (very romantic).

Hmmmm....to be honest, I'd feel more comfortable answering this in "Products Wanted", but since you did ask, all the Cheval Verite horses (mine) come with a Dual Rider included. Both the horse rider and passenger can select either astride or sidesaddle, and height is also adjustable. The Pegasus and Nightmare flying horses come with a Dual Rider that permits flight as well.

As with Virrginia, I hesitate to appear as promoting product, but I sometimes get asked if my products would allow two riders or if I plan to create such an option. As with any product that allows two (or more) avatars to walk, ride or otherwise move in perfect synchronization, then technically the use of a "vehicle" is required in SL. Since the customer would expect the horse to appear to still act the same when being ridden by two avatars, the horse scripts need to be able to interact with the double-rider "vehicle". This is obviously best performed by the creator of the horse's scipter to keep things compatible.

Given that, as far as I am aware, the AKKs and Virrginia's horses are the only two that I know of that currently offer this option.

(Correct any inaccuracies in my statements, Virrginia :-)
