UPDATE June 24th. Thanks to customer inputs, our horses have even more features. They now have fully animate rearing motion, complete with forelegs pawing and an excited whinny, an improved jump animation with the forelegs tucking under during the spring, then extending in the leap, easy as pie rider height and sound level adjustments using chat, the ability to prance in place if desired, and the rather silly ability to "talk" (which can be turned off).
**********************************************
La Bicyclette is very proud to introduce our line of exquisitely detailed, fully animated, riding horses. Worn as an attachment, the prim count does NOT count against the parcel limits, so you may happily wear your horse anywhere, without need for a place to rez it.
Our horses come with a myriad of features for your riding pleasure--
*Realistic styling and proportions with realistic textures from actual horses.
*Walking, Galloping, Rearing, Turning and Jumping animations based on late 19th century stop motion photography of horses.
*Intuitive control inputs, using normal avatar movement. Use the arrow keys to move, Cntrl-R to gallop, Pg Up to Jump, and Pg Dn to Rear.
*At full speed, our horses have been known to kick up a bit of dust!
*Flexible mane and tail that flow in the wind and wave when turning.
*Actual horse sounds for the walking and galloping, as well as occasional cheerful whinnies and nickerings. Sound level can be set for loud/soft/off via chat.
*Blinking animation.
*Our friendly horses always nicker happily when their nose is scratched!
*Are compatible with our "Dual Rider" saddles which allow a passenger to come along with you.
*Fully copiable and modifiable (except the script, of course). The horse size can be adjusted to fit your desire, whether you are a pixie or a towering Goliath! (NOTE: rider animations are not compatible with tinies). Rider and horse height easily adjustable via chat inputs.
*Due to popular demand, the horses now can "talk" (the owner types, and it appears in chat as spoken by the horse) Well, *I* think it's silly, but I also believe in customer service
Our horses currently come in both English Saddle and Sidesaddle variants, with realistic saddles and rider animations based on both styles. Current available colours are Black, Roan and Grey/White. If you have any requests or questions, feel free to send an IM!
If you would like to try a DEMO HORSE (no mod), do pop by the Eyre Carriage House, adjacent to the telehub in Caledon Eyre. Do take a peek at our carriages, riding ensembles and other horses, including the winged Pegasus!
